Abstract
201T1 to 67Ga uptake ratio as an indicator for predicting tumour doubling time in human pulmonary neoplasms.
Highlights
On the other hand, Togawa et al (1985) reported that lung cancer could be classified into two major groups based on the differences in 201TI to 67Ga uptake ratio by the tumour using quantitative 201TI and 67Ga scans
Into malignant cells still remains unsolved, it is well known that tumour accumulations of 201T1 and 67Ga are associated with potassium, calcium and magnesium metabolism, respectively (Anghileri et al, 1977; Ito et al, 1978), which play an important role in the control of cell transformation and growth (Yang et al, 1971; Davies et al, 1984; Banyard et al, 1985)
We extended our work in an attempt to confirm the relation between 201T1 to 67Ga uptake ratio and the growth rate of lung cancer, and to evaluate whether quantitative 201T1 and 67Ga scans, clinically simple, available and noninvasive diagnostic tools, lend themselves to prediction of tumour growth rate
