Estrogen receptor targeted contrast agents for molecular magnetic resonance imaging of breast cancer hormonal status
The estrogen receptor α (ER) is over expressed in most breast cancers and its level serves as a major prognostic factor. It is important to develop quantitative molecular imaging methods that specifically detect ER in vivo and assess its function throughout the entire primary breast cancer, as well...
