A recently developed ^sup 18^F-labeled PET tracer for somatostatin receptor (sstr) imaging, N^sup α^-(1-deoxy-D-fructosyl)-N^sup ε^-(2-[^sup 18^F]fluoropropionyl)-Lys^sup 0^-Tyr^sup 3^-octreotate (Gluc-Lys([^sup 18^F]FP)-TOCA), was evaluated in patients with sstr-positive tumors by assessing the pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, and diagnostic performance in comparison with [^sup 111^ln]DTPA-octreotide. Methods: Twenty-five patients with different sstr-positive tumors were included in the study and were injected with 105 ± 50 MBq Gluc-Lys([^sup 18^F]FP)-TOCA. PET was performed up ...
