Target-specific immunoPET Imaging of Digestive System Carcinoma

Development and Clinical Translation of immunoPET Imaging Probes for Digestive System Carcinoma

The aim of this study is to establish and optimize the target-specific PET/CT imaging method, and its physiological and pathological distribution characteristics, on the basis of which the diagnostic efficacy of the above imaging agents in digestive system malignant tumors will be evaluated.

Enrolled patients will undergo whole-body PET/CT scans at 1 hours after tracer injection(0.05-0.1 mCi/kg). Uptake of above imaging agents in tumor and normal organs/tissues will be scored visually and quantitatively.

Tumor uptake will be quantified by the maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy will be calculated to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy. The correlation between lesion uptake and protein expression level determined by immunohistochemistry staining will be further analyzed. The exploration endpoint will be the imaging feasibility and preliminary diagnostic value of the above tracers.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Pregnancy；
2. Severe hepatic and renal insufficiency;
