EGFR Molecular Classification In Vivo

Molecular Imaging to Identify EGFR-TKIs Benefit Non-small Cell Lung Carcinoma Patients

The investigators developed 18F-IRS as a targeted molecular imaging agent for noninvasive and repeatable detecting EGFR-activating mutational status.

The goal of investigators were to evaluate the use of 18F-IRS as a novel PET/CT radiotracer to monitor EGFR-activating mutational status and identify EGFR-TKIs benefit NSCLC patients. the investigators want to evaluated the use of 18F-IRS in lung cancer imaging in adult NSCLC patients with different EGFR mutational status of primary and metastatic cancers.
