In recent years several review articles and books have been published on the use of
porphyrin-based compounds in photodynamic therapy (PDT). This critical review is focused …

Pancreatic cancer remains a major unsolved health problem, with conventional cancer
treatments having little impact on disease course. Almost all patients who have pancreatic …

This special supplement to The Journal of Nuclear Medicine is a detailed tabulation of

Objective: To prospectively compare the accuracy of combined positron emission
tomography/computed tomography using 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG-PET/CT) …

Several advances in genetics, diagnosis and palliation of pancreatic cancer (PC) have
occurred in the last decades. A multidisciplinary approach to this disease is therefore …

In this study, we aimed to assess the prognostic value of metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and
total lesion glycolysis (TLG) measured on 18F-FDG PET/CT in pancreatic cancer patients …

I n the United States there are 28,000 to 30,300 newly diagnosed cases of pancreatic cancer
