Article Abstract
Purpose: Intratumor metabolic heterogeneity parameters on F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (F-FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) have been proven to be predictors of the clinical prognosis of cancer patients. The study aimed to examine the correlation between F-FDG PET-CT-defined heterogeneity parameters and the prognostic significance in patients with colorectal cancer.
Methods: The study included 188 patients with colorectal cancer who received surgery and F-FDG PET/CT examinations. Preoperative F-FDG PET/CT conventional and metabolic heterogeneity parameters were collected, including maximum, peak, and mean standardized uptake value (SUVmax, SUVpeak, and SUVmean), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), heterogeneity index-1 (HI-1) and heterogeneity index-2 (HI-2), and clinicopathological information. Correlations between these parameters and patient survival outcomes were inferred.
Results: The associations between F-FDG PET/CT parameters and clinical outcomes were analyzed. Tumor thrombus ( < 0.001), tumor stage (=0.001), MTV (=0.003), HI-1 (=0.032), and HI-2 (=0.001) differed between the two groups with and without recurrence. Multivariate analysis showed that, in the radical surgery group, HI-2 (HR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.04-1.17, =0.001), tumor stage (HR = 20.65, 95% CI: 4.81-88.62, < 0.001), and regional lymph nodes status (HR = 0.16, 95% CI: 0.04-0.57, =0.005) were independent variables significantly correlated with progression-free survival (PFS) and HI-2 (HR = 1.16, 95% CI: 1.07-1.26, < 0.001) was an independent variable affecting overall survival (OS). In the palliative surgery group, HI-2 (HR = 1.03, 95% CI: 1.01-1.06, =0.020) was an independent variable affecting PFS, and all the parameters were not statistically significant for OS.
Conclusion: HI-2, tumor stage, and regional lymph nodes status might predict the outcomes of colorectal cancer more effectively than other F-FDG PET/CT defined parameters.

Tissue factor (TF) has emerged as a promising target for the diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, there is limited data available on TF-related PET imaging for longitudinal monitoring of the pathophysiological changes during HCC formation. Herein, we aimed to explore the TF-expression feature and compare a novel TF-targeted PET probe with F-FDG through longitudinal imaging in diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced rat HCC.

Objective: CXCR4 and integrin αβ play important roles in tumor biology and are highly expressed in multiple types of tumors. This study aimed to synthesize, preclinically evaluate, and clinically validate a novel dual-targeted PET imaging probe Ga-pentixafor-c(RGDfK) for its potential in imaging tumors.
Methods: The effects of Ga-pentixafor-c(RGDfK) on cell viability, targeting specificity, and affinity were assessed in the U87MG cells.

Myocardial fibrosis, a key pathological feature of hypertensive heart disease (HHD), remains diagnostically challenging due to limited clinical tools. In this study, a FAPI-targeted uptake mechanism previously reported by our group, originally developed for tumor imaging, is extended to the detection of myocardial fibrosis in HHD using [F]F-NOTA-FAPI-MB. The diagnostic performance of this tracer is compared with those of [F]F-FDG, [F]F-FAPI-42, and [F]F-NOTA-FAP2286, and its potential for fluorescence imaging is also evaluated.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation. This study aimed to use the sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1) targeted tracer [F]TZ4877 with PET/CT to assess synovial inflammation in a collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mouse model. [F]TZ4877 and [F]FDG PET/CT imaging were performed on RA ( = 6) and control ( = 6) mice.
