Biological significance of fluorine-18-[alpha]-methyltyrosine (FAMT) uptake on PET in patients with oesophageal cancer

(18)F-FAMT as an amino-acid tracer for positron emission tomography (PET) is useful for detecting human neoplasms. (18)F-FAMT is accumulated in tumour cells solely via L-type amino-acid transporter 1 (LAT1). This study was conducted to investigate the biological significance of (18)F-FAMT uptake in...
