Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors Reduce Glucose Uptake by Binding to an Exofacial Site on hGLUT‐1: Influence on 18F‐FDG PET Uptake

Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors Reduce Glucose Uptake by Binding to an Exofacial Site on hGLUT‐1: Influence on 18F‐FDG PET Uptake

Positron emission tomography (PET) using 2‐deoxy‐2‐[18F]fluoro‐d‐glucose ([18F]FDG), a marker of energy metabolism and cell proliferation, is routinely used in the clinic to assess patient response to chemotherapy and to monitor tumor growth. Treatment with some tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) cau...
