Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) has proven useful in the differentiation of various tumour entities, including breast cancer. In patients with primary breast cancer we performed a 3-h imaging protocol to examine possible improvements in tumour detectability and
OBJECTIVE
Role of (18 [F] fluorine-18-labeled 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose [FDG] positron emission tomography-computed tomography [PET-CT]) in the evaluation of axillary lymph node involvement in T1T2N0 breast cancer and compare results with sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB).
METHODS
A total of 37
We retrospectively investigated the value of PET with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) for preoperative chemotherapy response in patients with locally advanced breast cancer.
METHODS
FDG-PET studies were performed on 16 consecutive patients. All patients had PET studies before chemotherapy, 13
OBJECTIVE
To assess the relationship between parameters measured on dynamic contrast material-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and fluorine 18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in primary invasive breast cancer.
METHODS
This
BACKGROUND
The role of whole-body fluorine-18-FDG positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) as an adjunct localize recurrence in stages II and III breast cancer patients who present with clinical suspicion for recurrence is not well established. We report our experience in such a patient
OBJECTIVE
Our study was to investigate the heterogeneity of estrogen receptor (ER) expression among tumor sites by using fluorine-18 ((18)F) fluoroestradiol (FES) positron-emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) imaging.
METHODS
Thirty-two breast cancer patients underwent both (18)F-FES and
The aim of this study was to compare, in breast cancer patients, the diagnostic accuracy of positron emission tomography (PET) using fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and scintimammography (SMM) using technetium-99m methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI). A total of 20 patients (40 breasts with 22
BACKGROUND
The presence, extent and localization of distant metastases are key prognostic factors in breast cancer patients and play a central role in therapeutic decision making. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic performance of positron emission tomography using
BACKGROUND
Positron emission tomography with 2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG-PET) is an accurate imaging modality for the staging of breast cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the potential therapeutic impact of pre- and postoperative FDG-PET in patients with clinically
In order to understand the structural features that might lead to an estrogen receptor (ER) based breast tumor imaging agent with improved uptake characteristics, we have synthesized several new analogs of 16 beta-fluoroestradiol (beta FES) and studied their tissue distribution in immature rats. The
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the role of 2-(fluorine-18)-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ((18)F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) early after breast-conserving surgery (BCS) in patients with breast cancer (BC) and whether we can determine which molecular biomarkers of breast
We have studied two new fluorine-substituted progestins as potential imaging agents for progesterone-receptor-positive human breast tumors. The steroids are 16 alpha, 17 alpha-fluoroacetophenone ketals of 16 alpha, 17 alpha-dihydroxyprogesterone and 16 alpha, 17 alpha,
Through the use of fluorine-18 radiolabeled estrogen receptor ligands and Positron Emission Tomography (PET), imaging of estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast lesions has been accomplished. Targeting the estrogen and progesterone receptors found in receptor-positive breast cancer provides a means
We have studied three new fluorine-substituted progestins (1-3) as potential imaging agents for progesterone receptor (PgR)-positive human breast tumors. Two of these are fluorine-substituted analogs of the potent progestin R5020 (promegestone), derived from (21S)-hydroxy R 5020 (RU 27987) and
Fluorine-18 fluorodeonyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) was used to detect local recurrence, axillary lymph node (LN) involvement and distant metastases in patients with breast cancer. Thirty-six female patients with breast cancer s/p operation underwent FDG-PET studies. Findings were
