Impact of Angiogenesis-Related Gene Expression on the Tracer Kinetics of18F-FDG in Colorectal Tumors
16 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: 18F-FDG kinetics are primarily dependent on the expression of genes associated with glucose transporters and hexokinases but may be modulated by other genes. The dependency of 18F-FDG kinetics on angiogenesis-related gene expression was evaluated in this study. METHODS: Patients with primary colorectal tumors (n = 25) were examined with PET and 18F-FDG within 2 days before surgery. Tissue specimens...
