This preclinical study evaluated an antibody known as humanized RS7 (hRS7) that targets breast, lung, prostate, and ovarian cancers, identifying a tumor-associated molecule named "epithelial glycoprotein-1."

This new labeling method resulted in 4-times the dose of I-131 delivered to the tumor, as compared with the same antibody labeled with I-131 using conventional methods. Increased exposure of the tumor to the I-131 resulted in 75% of the animals being cured.
