Pentixafor PET/CT for imaging of chemokine receptor 4 expression in esophageal cancer – a first clinical approach

Abstract Background Expression of CXCR4, a chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor that plays a central role in tumor growth and metastasis of circulating tumor cells, has been described in a variety of solid tumors. A high expression of CXCR4 has a prognostic significance with regard to overall and progre...
