A Comparison of the Behavior of ⁶⁴Cu-Acetate and ⁶⁴Cu-ATSM In Vitro and In Vivo

Abstract

That in vivo, in the EMT6 and CaNT tumors studied, the distribution of radiocopper from (64)Cu-ATSM in tumors essentially mirrors that of (64)Cu-acetate suggests that copper metabolism may also play a role in the mechanism of selectivity of Cu-ATSM.
