Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an invasive and rapidly progressive malignancy. A major challenge in patient management the lack of a reliable imaging tool to monitor tumor response treatment. Tumor-associated fibrosis characterized by high type I collagen hallmark PDAC, further increases neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT). We hypothesized that molecular positron emission tomography (PET) using collagen-specific probe,
Abstract Purpose: One of the major challenges in management pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is lack a reliable imaging tool to monitor tumor response treatment. A high degree fibrosis, mainly collagen type I, has been recognized as hallmark PDAC, which further increases neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT). This study introduces an image-guided paradigm for monitoring treatment using I specific PET probe, 68Ga-CBP8 mouse models and patients with PDAC. Methods: Subcutaneous human PDAC...
Abstract Neoadjuvant therapy is routinely used in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), but not all tumors respond to this treatment. Current clinical imaging techniques are able precisely evaluate and predict the response neoadjuvant therapies over several weeks. A strong fibrotic reaction a hallmark of positive response, during fibrogenesis, allysine residues formed on collagen proteins by action lysyl oxidases. Here, we report application an allysine-targeted molecular MRI probe, MnL3,...
Patients with advanced gastric cancer (GCa) have limited treatment options, and alternative approaches are necessary to improve their clinical outcomes. Because fibrin is abundant in tumors but not healthy tissues, we hypothesized that could be used as a high-concentration depot for high-energy beta-emitting cytotoxic radiopharmaceutical delivered tumor cells. We showed present 64 75% of primary 50 100% metastatic adenocarcinoma cores. First-in-human Cu-FBP8 fibrin–targeted positron emission...
