The Value of Technetium-99m Labeled Alpha-Melanocyte- Stimulating Hormone (99mTc-α-MSH) in Diagnosis of Primary and Metastatic Lesions of Malignant Melanoma

The Value of Technetium-99m Labeled Alpha-Melanocyte- Stimulating Hormone (99mTc-α-MSH) in Diagnosis of Primary and Metastatic Lesions of Malignant Melanoma

Objective(s): Malignant melanoma is the most lethal type of skincancers with unfavorable prognosis. Alpha-MSH peptide analogues havea high affinity for melanocortine-1 (MC1) receptors on melanocytes overexpressing in malignant melanoma cells. Pre-clinical studies have shownpromising results for radi...
