18F-FSPG PET/CT Imaging in Patients With Cancers

October 29, 2019 updated by: National Taiwan University Hospital

(4S)-4-(3-[18F]Fluoropropyl)-L-glutamate Radiotracer (FSPG) PET/CT for Imaging xC- Transporter Activity in Cancers

This study aims to compare the diagnostic performance of 18F-FDG and 18F-FSPG PET/CT in lung, breast, and abdominal cancers before undergoing therapy. In addition, the role of 18F-FSPG PET/CT in evaluating therapy response and prognosis will also be evaluated.
