Novel 64cu(Ii) Radiotracer For Diagnostic Of Hypoxia

By Assaf Sagiv / December 17, 2020 / Comments Off on Novel 64cu(Ii) Radiotracer For Diagnostic Of Hypoxia

The Problem The development of a biomarker for hypoxic tissues is essential both for diagnostic formulation and treatment planning for most cancer patients. Although the current PET radiotracers are non-invasive imaging modality techniques of tumor hypoxia, they are not being used routinely due to slow uptake by hypoxic. Cu(II)-tracers have been suggested to become one…
