Tumor receptors play an important role in carcinogenesis and tumor growth and have been
some of the earliest targets for tumor-specific therapy, for example, the estrogen receptor in …

Receptor targeted nuclear imaging directed against molecular markers overexpressed on
breast cancer (BC) cells offers a sensitive and specific method for BC imaging. Currently, a …

Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and progesterone receptor (PR) are important steroid
hormone receptor biomarkers used to determine prognosis and to predict benefit from …

Imaging of breast or prostate cancers based on their content of steroid receptors poses a
major challenge in the design of radiotracers. Receptors for steroid hormones are proteins …

Both radiolabeled ligands to specific receptors on cell surfaces and radiolabeled antibodies
