High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the most common type of epithelial ovarian cancer with insidious onset, rapid growth, and invasive spread. Here, we reported the diagnosis and treatment of a 53-year-old patient with a history of …

Endometriosis is a common cause of infertility, pelvic pain, and dysmenorrhea and there are prior case reports of lesion detection using an 18F-fluoroestradiol (FES) tracer with positron emission tomography (PET). We aimed to further invest…

When injected intravenously, [99mTc]Tc-phytate forms particles in the nanometer range. This size can favor its extravasation into tumor and inflammation through pores of the vasculature. The aim of this work is the evaluation of the use of …

Monitoring general disease marker such as angiogenesis may contribute to the development of personalized medicine and improve therapy outcome. Readily availability of positron emitter based imaging agents providing quantification would expa…

Anti-CA125 antibodies have been used in immunoassays to quantify levels of shed antigen in the serum of patients who are under surveillance for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). However, there is currently no molecular imaging probe in the c…

Radioiodine whole-body scintigraphy (WBS), which takes advantage of the high avidity of radioiodine in the functioning thyroid tissues, has been used for detection of differentiated thyroid cancer. Radioiodine is a sensitive marker for dete…
