ß-integrin immunohistochemistry analysis of a large number of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC, 383 primary tumors, 7 lymph node, and 8 distant metastases) and 34 pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) specimens revealed a high prevalence of αß-integrin expression in PDAC primaries (88%) and in almost all metastases, as well as in PanIN (57%). These findings underscore the high potential of a novel αß-integrin targeting positron emission tomography (PET) radiopharmaceutical, Ga-68-Avebehexin, for early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
对大量胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC,383例原发性肿瘤、7例淋巴结转移和8例远处转移)以及34例胰腺上皮内瘤变(PanIN)标本进行的β整合素免疫组化分析显示,αβ整合素在PDAC原发性肿瘤(88%)、几乎所有转移灶以及PanIN(57%)中均有高表达。这些发现凸显了一种新型的靶向αβ整合素的正电子发射断层扫描(PET)放射性药物Ga-68-Avebehexin在胰腺癌早期诊断方面的巨大潜力。
