In vitro 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose uptake: practical considerations.
In oncology 2-deoxy-2-[(18)F]fluoro-D-glucose ([(18)F]-FDG), a glucose analogue, is the most used positron emission tomography (PET) tracer. There are however some limitations due to low metabolic activity or high surrounding physiological uptake in several tumors or regions. Investigating new tracers or methods is expensive and elaborative when animal experiments or phase I clinical trials are...
متن کاملSynthesis, Quality Control and Stability Studies of 2-[18F]Fluoro-2-Deoxy-D-Glucose(18F-FDG) at Different Conditions of Temperature by Physicochemical and Microbiological Assays
The introduction of 2-[18F] fluor-2-deoxy-D-glucose (18FDG) has provided a valuable tool for the study of glucose metabolism in both normal and diseased tissue in conjunction with positron emission tomography (PET). 18FDG is the most important radiopharmaceutical to be used in Nuclear Medicine for studying the brain, heart and tumor. The advancement in synthesis and quality control of 18FDG and...

متن کاملPositherapy: targeted nuclear therapy of breast cancer with 18F-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-glucose.
Breast cancer remains a major cause of cancer death in women in the United States. Novel therapies are needed for patients when standard treatments are ineffective. We have recently shown on a cellular level the therapeutic potential of positrons in malignancy. Here, we report for the first time positron therapy with (18)F-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-glucose ((18)F-FDG) in a breast cancer animal model t...
متن کاملAnatomolecular imaging with 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose: bench to outpatient center.
Anatomic imaging of cancer using X-rays has proven very useful for more than a century but has clear limitations. Anatomic methods quite reliably show whether a large mass is present or absent, but not what the mass is composed of. Imaging additional phenotypic alterations of the altered genotype of cancers with positron emission tomography (PET)adds clinically valuable information for patient ...
