State of the Art in 2022 PET/CT in Breast Cancer: A Review.
Jules Zhang-YinPublished in: Journal of clinical medicine (2023)
Molecular imaging with positron emission tomography is a powerful and well-established tool in breast cancer management. In this review, we aim to address the current place of the main PET radiopharmaceuticals in breast cancer care and offer perspectives on potential future radiopharmaceutical and technological advancements. A special focus is given to the following: the role of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in the clinical management of breast cancer patients, especially during staging; detection of recurrence and evaluation of treatment response; the role of 16α- 18 Ffluoro-17β-oestradiol positron emission tomography in oestrogen receptors positive breast cancer; the promising radiopharmaceuticals, such as 89 Zr-trastuzumab and 68 Ga- or 18 F-labeled fibroblast activation protein inhibitor; and the application of artificial intelligence.
