Abstract:
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors are currently widely used for targeted lung cancer therapy. Target-ed therapy evaluation principally relies on genetic testing or rough clinical estimation. PET receptor imaging is highly sensitive and spe-cific. According to domestic and foreign literature, PET imaging using radiolabeled EGFR-targeting agents can be used to predict and monitor therapy response. This paper presents new evaluating methods for targeted lung cancer therapy.
