Abstract:
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women with rising incidence worldwide. F-FDG PET/CT imaging has already established itself as a pivotal modality for staging, restating and response assessment in patients with carcinoma breast. The complex biology of this cancer is increasingly being decoded and various molecular targets have been identified and exploited for guiding the treatment at various time points during the course of the disease. We here depict a series of various metabolic and receptor targeting PET radiotracers in breast cancer patients which may help us understand the in vivo biology of this tumor.
