Potential impact of molecular imaging in oncology.
Despite all progress in molecular imaging methods, the actual number of validated new markers is still limited. The breakthrough of individual efforts is often hampered by lack of critical mass of resources. To overcome these shortcomings a "network" of multidisciplinary experts is indispensable. Focusing on cancer therapy, molecular imaging has a high potential impact in (a) early therapy moni...
متن کاملI-55: Molecular Imaging Overview
Molecular imaging is the noninvasive visualization of normal as well as abnormal cellular processes at a molecular or genetic level of function. It is used to provide characterization and measurement of biological processes in living animals and humans (in vivo). The discipline of molecular imaging evolved rapidly over the past decade through the integration of cell biology, molecular biology a...
متن کاملImaging of metastatic melanoma
Cutaneous cancer is now the most common human malignancy and in the UK malignant melanoma comprises 11% of all skin cancers. Eighty percent of malignant melanoma is thought to be related to excessive exposure to sunlight, particularly in childhood. Although the least common skin cancer, malignant melanoma is the most deadly. In 1999 it killed over 1600 individuals in the UK and by 2004, in the ...
متن کاملChallenges in realizing the potential of clinical molecular imaging.
Challenges in Realizing the Potential of Clinical Molecular Imaging G lobal megatrends, such as growing and aging populations, combined with the increasing prevalence of diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and dementia, lead to inexorably and exponentially increasing health care costs. In the United States alone, the number of individuals who are 65 y old and older will double by 2030. If o...
متن کاملMolecular imaging of aquaglycero-aquaporins: its potential for cancer characterization.
Aquaglycero-aquaporins (agAQPs) are one of the water channel proteins located in the cell membrane that transport not only water but also some small solutes such as glycerol. Since agAQPs are involved in cancer proliferation and malignancy, it might be possible to utilize them as new targets for cancer molecular imaging. In this study, we investigated whether agAQPs can be specifically targeted...
