Gluc-Lys([18F]FP)-TOCA PET in patients with SSTR-positive tumors: biodistribution and diagnostic evaluation compared with [111In]DTPA-octreotide.

Abstract

Gluc-Lys([(18)F]FP)-TOCA PET allows a fast, high- contrast imaging of sstr-positive tumors. The biokinetics and diagnostic performance of Gluc-Lys([(18)F]FP)-TOCA are superior to [(111)In]DTPA-octreotide and-as far as can be derived from the literature-comparable with [(68)Ga]-DOTA-d Phe(1)-Tyr(3)-octreotide ([(68)Ga]DOTATOC).
