Abstract

Tracer uptake of (18)F-galacto-RGD and (18)F-FDG does not correlate closely in malignant lesions. Whereas (18)F-FDG PET is more sensitive for tumor staging, (18)F-galacto-RGD PET warrants further evaluation for planning and response evaluation of targeted molecular therapies with antiangiogenic or alpha(v)beta(3)-targeted drugs.
