The prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) targeted positron-emitting-tomography (PET) tracer 68Ga-PSMA-11 shows great promise in the detection of prostate cancer. However, 68Ga has several shortcomings as a radiolabel including short half-life and non-ideal energies, this motivated consideration 18F-labelled analogs. 18F-PSMA-1007 was selected among 18F-PSMA-ligand candidate compounds because it demonstrated high labelling yields, outstanding tumor uptake fast, non-urinary background...
In recent years, several radiotracers targeting the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) have been introduced. Some of them had a high clinical impact on treatment patients with prostate cancer. However, number <sup>18</sup>F-labeled tracers addressing PSMA is still limited. Therefore, we aimed to develop radiofluorinated molecule resembling structure therapeutic PSMA-617. <b>Methods:</b> The nonradioactive reference compound PSMA-1007 and precursor were produced by solid-phase...
Abstract Purpose FAPI ligands (fibroblast activation protein inhibitor), a novel class of radiotracers for PET/CT imaging, demonstrated in previous studies rapid and high tumor uptake. The purpose this study is the head-to-head intra-individual comparison 68 Ga-FAPI versus standard-of-care 18 F-FDG organ biodistribution uptake patients with various cancers. Material Methods This international retrospective multicenter analysis included data from 71 6 centers who underwent both within median...
Radiolabeled tracers targeting the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) have become important radiopharmaceuticals for PET-imaging of prostate cancer. In this connection, we recently developed fluorine-18-labelled PSMA-ligand [18F]PSMA-1007 as next generation radiofluorinated Glu-ureido PSMA inhibitor after [18F]DCFPyL and [18F]DCFBC. Since radiosynthesis so far has been suffering from rather poor yields, novel procedures automated radiosyntheses developed. We herein report on both...
68Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-11 PET/CT represents an advanced method for the staging of primary prostate cancer (PCa) and diagnosis recurrent or metastatic PCa. However, because narrow availability 68Ga development alternative tracers is high interest. The objective this study was to examine value new PET tracer 18F-PSMA-1007 local disease by comparing it with multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) radical prostatectomy (RP) histopathology. Methods: In 2016, performed in 10 men...
The biochemical and radiological responses to radionuclide therapy with Lu-PSMA-617 targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) make it a promising approach the treatment of patients metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) [1]. However, PSMA-617 has been reported have slower tumour accumulation clearance kinetics than PSMA-11, latter is still therefore preferred diagnostic agent when labelled generator-produced Ga which short half-life (68 min) [2]. A PSMAtargeting...
Abstract Background Cancer-associated fibroblasts are found in the stroma of epithelial tumors. They characterized by overexpression fibroblast activation protein (FAP), a serine protease which was already proven as attractive target for chelator-based theranostics. Unfortunately, value gallium-68 labeled tracers is limited their batch size and short nuclide half-life. To overcome this drawback, radiolabeling with aluminum fluoride complexes 6-fluoronicotinamide derivatives longer-lived...
The <sup>18</sup>F-labeled fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) [<sup>18</sup>F]FAPI-74 has the benefit of a higher synthetic yield and better image resolution than <sup>68</sup>Ga-labeled FAPI. We preliminarily evaluated diagnostic performance PET in patients with various histopathologically confirmed cancers or suspected malignancies. <b>Methods:</b> enrolled 31 (17 men 14 women) lung cancer (<i>n</i> = 7), breast 5), gastric pancreatic 3), other benign tumors 6). Twenty-seven...

Ga-FAPI (fibroblast activation protein inhibitor) is a rapidly evolving and highly promising radiotracer for PET/CT imaging, presenting excellent results in variety of tumor entities, particularly epithelial carcinomas. This retrospective analysis sought to evaluate the potential impact FAPI-PET/CT rare cancer diseases with respect improvement staging therapy, based on tracer uptake normal organs tumors.
Targeted α-therapy (TAT) for prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a promising treatment metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Astatine an α-emitter (half-life=7.2 h) that can be produced by 30-MeV cyclotron. This study evaluated the effect of 211At-labeled PSMA compounds in mouse xenograft models.Tumor models were established subcutaneous transplantation human cells (LNCaP) NOD/SCID mouse. [211At]PSMA1, [211At]PSMA5, or [211At]PSMA6 was administered to LNCaP mice...
Abstract The discovery of fibroblast activation protein inhibitor positron emission tomography (FAPI-PET) has paved the way for a new class PET tracers that target tumor microenvironment (TME) rather than itself. Although 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is most common tracer used in clinical imaging cancer, multiple studies have now shown family FAP ligands commonly outperform FDG detecting cancers, especially those known to lower uptake on FDG-PET. Moreover, FAPI-PET will applications benign...
Biochemical recurrence (BCR) is a concern for prostate cancer patients after local treatment. <sup>68</sup>Ga-labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligands have significantly improved imaging. However, several <sup>18</sup>F-labeled that were developed as fluorinated tracers might present advantages. In this study, we analyzed the potential of <sup>18</sup>F-PSMA-1007 in with BCR. <b>Methods:</b> Twelve BCR treatment underwent PET/CT scans 1 and 3 h injection...
