The formation of new vessels, a process referred to as neoangiogenesis, is one of the key pathophysiological mechanisms in the development and progression of cancer. It contributes to tumour growth and dissemination of neoplastic cells and can determine response or resistance to anticancer therapies. It involves different signaling pathways including the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)...

Aim: To visualize neovasculature and/or tumour integrin αvβ3 we selected the binding moiety Arg-Gly-Asp-D-Tyr-Lys (RGDyK) coupled to NODAGA for labeling with 68Ga. Methods: NODAGA-RGDyK (ABX) was labeled with the 68Ga eluate from the 68Ge generator IGG100 using the processor unit PharmTracer. Biodistribution was measured in female Hsd mice sacrificed 10, 30, 60 and 90 min after i.v. injection...
