Journal Article
Superiority of 11Cmethionine over 18Fdeoxyglucose for PET Imaging of Multiple Cancer Types Due to the Methionine Addiction of Cancer
2023
Overview
Positron emission tomography (PET) is widely used to detect cancers. The usual isotope for PET imaging of cancer is [18F]deoxyglucose. The premise of using [18F]deoxyglucose is that cancers are addicted to glucose (The Warburg effect). However, cancers are more severely addicted to methionine (The Hoffman effect). [11C]methionine PET (MET-PET) has been effectively used for the detection of glioblastoma and other cancers in the brain, and in comparison, MET-PET has been shown to be more sensitive and accurate than [18F]deoxyglucose PET (FDG-PET). However, MET-PET has been limited to cancers in the brain. The present report describes the first applications of MET-PET to cancers of multiple organs, including rectal, bladder, lung, and kidney. The results in each case show that MET-PET is superior to FDG-PET due to the methionine addiction of cancer and suggest that the broad application of MET-PET should be undertaken for cancer detection.
