PET Image-Guided Radiotherapy Evaluated for Positive Paraaortic Lymph Nodes in Cervical Cancer
The purpose of a new study was to evaluate the feasibility and toxicity of positron emission tomography image-guided radiation therapy of 18F-FDG PET-positive pelvic and paraaortic lymph nodes to 60 Gy in patients with carcinoma of the cervix. More...20 Oct 2008
PET Imaging Biomarker Technology May Provide New Cancer Treatment Pathways
Preliminary study findings of a new imaging biomarker for hypoxic tumors indicated that the compound was found to be stable for imaging at 145 minutes post-injection, that it would safely clear the body through urinary elimination, and that there were very low dose accumulations in major organs.
