This article outlines the role of 16α-[(18)F]fluoro-17β-oestradiol ((18)F-FES) positron emission tomography (PET) combined with 2-[(18)F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ((18)F-FDG) in patients with oestrogen-related tumours for evaluating tumour phenotype. (18)F-FES-PET combined with (18)F-FDG is helpful in characterising the distinct phenotypic features of oestrogen-related tumours; that is, inter- and intrapatient tumour heterogeneity, which indicates its great potential as a determinant of individualised treatment and a prognostic predictor for patients with oestrogen-related tumours.
本文概述了 16α-[(18)F]氟-17β-雌二醇((18)F-FES)正电子发射断层扫描(PET)与 2-[(18)F]氟-2-脱氧-D-葡萄糖((18)F-FDG)联合应用于雌激素相关肿瘤患者,以评估肿瘤表型的作用。(18)F-FES-PET 与 (18)F-FDG 联合有助于描述雌激素相关肿瘤的独特表型特征;即,肿瘤的患者内和患者间异质性,这表明其作为个体化治疗决定因素和雌激素相关肿瘤患者预后预测因子具有巨大潜力。
