Imaging proliferation in brain tumors with 18F-FLT PET: comparison with 18F-FDG.
UNLABELLED 3'-Deoxy-3'-(18)F-fluorothymidine ((18)F-FLT) is a recently developed PET tracer to image tumor cell proliferation. We characterized (18)F-FLT PET of brain gliomas and compared (18)F-FLT with (18)F-FDG PET in side-by-side studies of the same patients. METHODS Twenty-five patients with newly diagnosed or previously treated glioma underwent PET with (18)F-FLT and (18)F-FDG on consecu...
متن کامل[18F]FLT-PET and [18F]FDG-PET in the evaluation of radiotherapy for laryngeal cancer.
The evaluation of response to radiotherapy in patients with laryngeal cancer is a challenge because of the difficulty to differentiate between post-therapy changes and recurrent or residual tumor. Positron emission tomography is a non-invasive imaging tool that may be helpful in this differentiation. In this study, [(18)F]-fluoro-3'-deoxy-L-thymidine ([(18)F]FLT), a proliferation tracer is comp...
متن کامل18F-FLT PET for visualization of laryngeal cancer: comparison with 18F-FDG PET.
UNLABELLED The feasibility of (18)F-3'-fluoro-3'-deoxy-L-thymidine PET (FLT PET) for detecting laryngeal cancer was investigated and compared with (18)F-FDG PET. METHODS Eleven patients diagnosed with or strongly suspected of having recurrent laryngeal cancer and 10 patients with histologically proven primary laryngeal cancer underwent attenuation-corrected (18)F-FLT PET imaging 60 min after ...
متن کاملImaging gastric cancer with PET and the radiotracers 18F-FLT and 18F-FDG: a comparative analysis.
UNLABELLED In this pilot study, we evaluated 3'-deoxy-3'-(18)F-fluorothymidine (FLT) PET for the detection of gastric cancer and compared the diagnostic accuracy with that of (18)F-FDG PET. METHODS Forty-five patients (31 male and 14 female) with histologically proven locally advanced gastric cancer underwent attenuation-corrected whole-body (18)F-FLT PET and (18)F-FDG PET/CT (low-dose CT). (...
متن کامل18F-FLT PET/CT in Patients with Gastric Carcinoma
The aim of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of 18F-FLT PET/CT in the detection and differentiation of gastric cancers (GC). 104 consecutive patients (57 cases of adenocarcinoma tubulare (G2 and G3), 17 cases of mucinous adenocarcinoma, 6 cases of undifferentiated carcinoma, 14 cases of adenocarcinoma partim mucocellulare, and 10 cases of end stage gastric cancer) with newly diagnosed ad...
