Completed
- Conditions
- Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
- Registration Number
- NCT00698373
- Lead Sponsor
- Gunma University
- Brief Summary
L-\[3-18F\]-α-methyltyrosine (18F-FMT) is an amino-acid tracer for positron emission tomography (PET). The aim of this study was to determine whether PET-CT with 18F-FMT provides additional information for the preoperative diagnostic workup as compared with 18F-FDG PET. Tumor uptake of 18F-FMT was compared with several immunohistochemical markers including L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1).
