Involvement of cancer-derived EMT cells in the accumulation of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose in the hypoxic cancer microenvironment

Abstract A high rate of glycolysis, one of the most common features of cancer, is used in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to visualize tumor tissues using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG). Heterogeneous intratumoral distribution of 18F-FDG in tissues has been established in some types of...
