Selective receptor-targeting peptide based agents have attracted considerable attention in
molecular imaging of tumor cells that overexpress corresponding peptide receptors due to …

The specific binding of peptides to their receptors can be used to meet the key requirement
in tumor targeting: selective addressing of neoplasm. Because of their small size, peptides …

Targeted molecular imaging techniques have become indispensable tools in modern
diagnostics because they provide accurate and specific diagnosis of disease information …

Accounting for 16 million new cases and 9 million deaths annually, cancer leaves a great
number of patients helpless. It is a complex disease and still a major challenge for the …

The aberrant proliferation of tumor cells and abundant vasculature in tumor tissues are
closely correlated with receptors that are specifically dysregulated in tumor cells. These …

The use of monolabeled tumor-targeting peptides for molecular imaging is widespread.
However, it is often desirable to use the same compound for different clinical applications …

Radiopharmaceuticals are drugs containing atoms of some radioactive elements. They are
designed for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, to deliver small doses of ionizing radiation …

An Erratum has been published for this article in Medicinal Research Reviews 2004; 24: 685–
686. Small synthetic receptor‐binding peptides are the agents of choice for diagnostic …

Overexpressed neuropeptide receptors allow tumor visualization using eg radiolabeled
peptidic receptor ligands and positron emission tomography (PET) or single photon …

Progress in genomics and proteomics provides clinical oncology with new anti-cancer
