A method for detecting antigen associated with adenocarcinoma commences by forming a 124I conjugate of a preferential locator, such as an antibody, and introducing the conjugate into a patient suspected of having adenocarcinoma. Positron emission tomography (PET) scanning of the patient reveals sites of accumulated conjugate, such sites including lymph nodes. The course of treatment of the patient then is determined by the amount of revealed lymph nodes.
