The technology allows for direct and indirect detection of cancer tissue. It deals with a pharmaceutical compound consisting of three subdomains: (A) for specific cell surface binding to neoplastic cells, (B) for binding radiometals via a chelator domain for e.g. PET, and (C) harboring a fluorescent dye moiety for optical detection. The combination of PET tracer and optical moiety enables the surgeon to localize the tumor preoperatively via PET/CT and intraoperatively through optical detection.
