Abstract In recent years,[18 F]-fluoro-3′-deoxy-3′-L-fluorothymidine ([18 F] FLT) has been
developed as a proliferation tracer. Imaging and measurement of proliferation with PET …

Increased cellular proliferation is an integral part of the cancer phenotype. Several in vitro
assays have been developed to measure the rate of tumor growth, but these require …

Despite considerable improvements in the treatment options for advanced-stage non-small-
cell lung cancer (NSCLC), disease-specific survival remains poor. With the aim of improving …

In the last hundred years, lung cancer has risen from a reportable disease to the most
common cause of death from cancer in both men and women in developed countries (1) …

Purpose The nucleoside analogue 3′-deoxy-3′-18 F-fluorothymidine (FLT) has recently
been introduced for imaging cell proliferation with positron emission tomography (PET). We …

Positron emission tomography (PET) using the radiotracer 3′-deoxy-3′-[18F]
fluorothymidine (FLT) can image cellular proliferation in human cancers in vivo. FLT uptake …

Abstract The most common semiquantitative method of evaluation of pulmonary lesions
using 18 F-FDG PET is FDG standardized uptake value (SUV). An SUV cutoff of 2.5 or …

We aimed to prospectively observe cellular metabolism and proliferation in patients with non–
small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) during radical chemoradiation therapy using serial PET/CT …

PET is an exquisitely sensitive molecular imaging technique using positron-emitting
radioisotopes coupled to specific ligands. Many biological targets of great interest can be …

Few diagnostic procedures are available to determine the degree of bone marrow cellularity
and the numbers of cycling cells in patients with bone marrow disorders. Noninvasive …
