Molecular
Imaging in Oncology
Molecular
imaging is emerging as an incredibly powerful tool in oncology
research. With unprecedented specificity to capture some of the
key cancer hallmarks (e.g., proliferation), it can assess
pharmacodynamic effects of various therapies on tumor response.
A general overview of molecular imaging, its potential and
limitations will be presented in the lecture. An example of a
pharmacodynamic study using 3'-deoxy-3'[(18)F]-fluorothymidine,
[(18)F]-FLT PET/CT in assessing response to anti-angiogenic
therapies (VEGFR TKI) will be shown. Patient-specific modeling
of tumor response to VEGFR TKI based on FLT PET/CT molecular
imaging will be used to illustrate intimate connection between
tumor modeling and molecular imaging-based clinical trials. -
