According to a study from Gunma, Japan, "L-[3-F-18]-alpha-methyltyrosine (F-18-FMT) is an amino-acid tracer for positron-emission tomography (PET). We have conducted a clinicopathologic study to elucidate the correlation of angiogenesis with F-18-FMT and 2-[F-18]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (F-18-FDG) uptake in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)." "Thirty-seven NSCLC patients were enrolled in this study, and two PET studies with F-18-FMT and F-18-FDG were performed. Uptake of PET tracers was evaluated with standardized uptake value. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), CD31, CD34, L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) and Ki-67 labeling index of the...
