Abstract
Neoplasms of the female genital tract present as a wide range of abnormalities and are the second most common source of fatal cancer in women after carcinoma of the breast [7]. Because of the diversity of gynaecological tumors, the diagnosis and followup of patients remains an important clinical problem. The application of techniques for early detection and successful treatment offers great prospects for the relief of suffering and extension of life. The targeting of monoclonal antibodies to tumors offers potential for both diagnosis and therapy and will hopefully improve the management of these patients.
