| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
4’-[methyl-11C]thiotymidine（4DST) is a newly developed positron labelled pharmaceutical by our group incorporation of which into DNA compartment of in vivo tumor was confirmed for the first time.
In the present clinical trial, we have undergone 86 scans of brain tumor or the suspects of brain tumor patients using 4DST together with 11C methionine, most widely used PET ligand for brain tumor in Japan, and compared the characteristics of 4DST imaging. Among all type of glioma, 4DST was confirmed to incorporate by reflecting proliferation rate of tumor cell more precisely than 11C methionine. 4DST was incorporated into malignant brain tumor infiltrating into the area with intact blood brain barrier. 4DST was revealed to be the most suitable PET probe to distinguish acute inflammation from malignant brain tumor. Further clinical trial is going on now.
