Outline of Final Research Achievements |
[18F]FDG is useful for cancer diagnosis, but it is difficult to accurately diagnose for prostate cancer due to its low accumulation. Therefore, development of alternative diagnosic agents is desired. Human gastrin releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) has been reported to be overexpressed in various cancers including prostate cancer. I aimed to develop agents for the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer by labeling derivatives of Bombesin (BNN), which is a ligand for GRPR, with radioactive halogens including iodene-125 and astatine-211.
