| Description: | Development of the positron emission tomography (PET) diagnostic radiopharmaceutical (18F)fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (18F-FDG) subsequently facilitated the discovery and clinical evaluation of several new tracers as imaging markers for cancer. While 18F-FDG is a widely employed marker for enhanced intracellular glycolysis and metabolic function, one of the newer tracers, (18F)-3’-fluoro-3’ deoxythymidine (18F-FLT), has been developed as a biomarker for cell proliferation. In this review, the potential of 18F-FLT as a biomarker for cancer imaging is discussed. |
