at one conference I went to, one poster presenter from Sweden had already given humans radioisotope labeled affibodies (w herceptin-like targeting) and they seemed to cross the blood-brain barrier and identify brain mets (don't remember about leptomeningeal mets)

When and if this becomes available, it would help identify if these are indeed recurrences.

It was at either a ASCo or AACR annual meeting or ASCO or AACR BREAST MEETING (not sabcs as far as I recall) in the last 2.5 yrs I seem to think it might have been last yrs asco breast.

Don't know how far they have gotten with this...just a thought
