(68)Ga-DTPA Anti-HER2 positron emission tomography/CT successfully predicts the overexpression of human epidermal growth factor receptor in lung metastases from breast cancer

Molecular identification of a metastatic tumour without the inconvenience of a biopsy and the time required for pathological characterization is possible using molecular imaging. Here, we present the case of a patient with breast cancer in whom (68)Ga-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid anti-human e...

Sumario:Molecular identification of a metastatic tumour without the inconvenience of a biopsy and the time required for pathological characterization is possible using molecular imaging. Here, we present the case of a patient with breast cancer in whom (68)Ga-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positron emission tomography-CT was successfully employed to characterize the expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 in metastatic sites.
