Summary:The advent of monoclonal antibodies has revolutionized our thinking about cancer therapy management. In this article, we attempt to review some of the applications of monoclonal antibodies in cancer research and to identify requirements for monoclonal antibody to be useful in cancer detection or therapy. Empirical tests of antibody circulation in vivo are necessary to establish specificity.
