Abstract:Purpose
Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) exhibits a low affinity for 18F-FDG. The estrogen receptor (ER) is commonly expressed in ILCs, suggesting a potential benefit of targeting with the ER probe 18F-FES in this patient population. The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of 18F-FES imaging in patients with metastatic ILC and compare it with that of 18F-FDG.
Methods
We conducted a retrospective analysis of 20 ILC patients… Show more
