Bombesin-Targeted PET of Prostate Cancer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Imaging plays an important role in prostate cancer (PC), including accurate evaluation of the extent of disease, assessment of sites of recurrent disease, and monitoring of response to treatment. Molecular imaging techniques are among the novel developments related to the imaging of PC, and various SPECT and PET radiopharmaceuticals are now available in clinical trials or commercially. Here we describe the preclinical and clinical use of gastrin-releasing peptide receptors as targets for the imaging of PC, with a focus on the development of PET tracers for the imaging of gastrin-releasing peptide receptor-positive tumors.

Imaging Cellular Proliferation in Prostate Cancer with Positron Emission Tomography
Prostate cancer remains a major public health problem worldwide. Imaging plays an important role in the assessment of disease at all its clinical phases, including staging, restaging after definitive therapy, evaluation of therapy response, and prognostication. Positron emission tomography with a number of biologically targeted radiotracers has been demonstrated to have potential diagnostic and...
متن کاملHighlights from the latest articles on bombesin - based radiopeptides for prostate cancer diagnostics Spacer as a biodistribution modifier for 99 mTc - labeled bombesin
Correct staging of prostate cancer is an unmet clinical need. Anatomical imaging methods (e.g., CT and MRI) tend to understage prostate cancer due to poor sensitivity for soft-tissue metastases. A significant number of patients with extraprostatic disease nowadays undergo noncurative surgery owing to false-negative diagnosis [1]. The utility of F-fluorodeoxyglucose with PET or PET/CT for prosta...
متن کاملPET/CT imaging in prostate cancer
Prostate cancer is the second most common male malignancy worldwide with a wide spectrum of biological behaviour ranging from fairly indolent disease to highly aggressive metastatic castrate resistant tumours. In the past decade there have been advances in therapies for treating advanced and recurrent prostate cancer and improved diagnostic/prognostic tools are required to refine the therapeuti...

Objective(s): The aim of this study was to analyze detection rates and effectiveness of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) cancer screening program for prostate cancer in Japan, which is defined as a cancer-screening program for subjects without known cancer. It contains FDG-PET aimed at detection of cancer at an early stage with or without additional screening tests ...
متن کاملA comparative study of radiolabeled bombesin analogs for the PET imaging of prostate cancer.
UNLABELLED Radiolabeled bombesin (BBN) analogs that bind to the gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) represent a topic of active investigation for the development of molecular probes for PET or SPECT of prostate cancer (PCa). RM1 and AMBA have been identified as the 2 most promising BBN peptides for GRPR-targeted cancer imaging and therapy. In this study, to develop a clinically translatab...
