Share this article KANAZAWA, Japan, April 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- In a recent study published in the journal Molecules researchers at Kanazawa University describe the use of novel gallium-based radiotracers to visualize tumors in the body. Cancer cells highly express specific proteins on their surface which helps oncologists identify and target these cells. For example, platelet-derived growth factor receptor β (PDGFRβ) which is often found on breast and colon cancer cells has been used to design probes that can attach to it and facilitate imaging of these cells. All such tracers designed to date have shown low accumulation within tumor tissues making it hard to visualize the cancer accurately. However, a team led by Kazuma Ogawa at Kanazawa University has now used radiolabeled gallium (Ga) to create tracers which showed potential when tested in mice.
