Endostatin is a novel antiangiogenic agent currently in phase I trials. In the context of this trial, we are evaluating the use of non-invasive imaging with PET to determine the relationship between tumor blood flow and glucose metabolism in imaged tumors from treated patients.Ten patients have been
BACKGROUND
Electrochemotherapy is a local anticancer treatment very efficient for treatment of small cutaneous metastases. The method is now being investigated for large cutaneous recurrences of breast cancer that are often confluent masses of malignant tumour with various degrees of inflammation.
BACKGROUND
Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is a rare disease affecting the large arteries, particularly the aorta. Standard test to demonstrate abnormal vascular anatomy is angiography. This invasive procedure is limited in differentiating inflammatory and fibrotic lesions. Acute phase reactants have
: We have developed a novel fluorine-18 radiotracer, dipeptide 1, radiolabeled in two steps from mesylate 3. The initial radiolabeling is achieved in a short reaction time (10 min) and purified through solid-phase extraction (SPE) with modest radiochemical yields (rcy = 10 ± 2%,
Both radiolabeled ligands to specific receptors on cell surfaces and radiolabeled antibodies to specific cell surface epitopes provide new opportunities to scintigraphically identify tumors. Both radiolabeled ligands and antibodies are characterized by high orders of affinity for their respective
Our understanding of the association between synovial sarcoma and peripheral neurolymphomatosis is limited to a few case reports in literature. Delay in diagnosis or misdiagnosis is possible due to its insidious onset and varied presentation compounded by non-specific imaging findings. Needle biopsy
