New imaging technique identifies receptors for targeted cancer therapy

A fluorescence imaging technique has been developed that can more accurately identify receptors for targeted cancer therapies without a tissue biopsy. "Accurately determining the population of protein receptors in a tumor available for targeting by molecular therapies or diagnostic imaging agents can greatly impact oncology patient outcomes," said one investigator. "Our in vivo receptor concentration imaging technique is a novel approach for fluorescence imaging that can potentially impact clini...
