A Pilot Study of 18F-Alfatide PET/CT Imaging for Detecting Lymph Node Metastases in Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Abstract Angiogenesis plays a key role in tumor development and αvβ3 integrin are overexpressed on the endothelial cell surface of newly forming vessels. 18F-Alfatide has favorable properties for αvβ3 integrin targeting and showed potential for imaging angiogenesis with Positron Emission Tomography...
