“…A P value less than or equal to 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Figure 1 shows the typical biodistribution of 4FMFES over time, as assessed with 4 sequential rapid PET acquisitions over 2 h. Variable amounts of activity are deposited along the veins of the injected arm, proximal to the site of injection, as seen with other ER imaging agents (11). The liver showed a rapid and intense uptake, which decreased slowly over time as the massive biliary elimination occurred.…”

“…Diagnostic imaging can be achieved by the administration of a suitably radiolabeled ligand that accumulates in the receptor-positive tumor, where it can be detected and quantified by imaging. Such images can sometimes be used to predict whether hormone therapy will be effective [1][2][3][4]. In a related manner, a hormone receptor ligand labeled with a radionuclide (e.g., an Auger electron emitting isotope) that accumulates in a tumor through a receptormediated uptake process can deliver a cytotoxic dose of high linear energy transfer (LET) radiation selectively to the tumor cells, ablating the tumor while limiting widespread radiation toxicity.…”

“…Diagnostic imaging of breast and prostate tumors by positron emission tomography (PET) is well established and has been achieved using steroids labeled with fluorine-18, such as 16α-[ 18 F]fluoroestradiol (FES) [3,4] for breast tumor imaging and 16β-[ 18 F]fluoro-5α-dihydrotestosterone (FDHT) [5,6] for prostate cancer imaging. Although a number of steroids labeled with bromine and iodine radioisotopes have been prepared [7][8][9][10][11][12] and studied, especially in terms of their potential for selective radiotherapy, their use in imaging studies, particularly in humans, has been more limited [12].…”

“…In the rat (no SHBG), 16b-fluoromoxestrol appeared well protected from metabolism by its 11b and 17a substituents (compared with 16a-fluoroestradiol), and it demonstrated high uptake in the uterus. In humans (with SHBG), however, PET trials with 16b-fluoromoxestrol failed to detect a single estrogen receptor-positive tumor in the 3 patients with known estrogen receptor-positive status (26), suggesting again that when SHBG is present, SHBG binding is a prerequisite for good target tissue uptake.…”
