The specification and use of 18F-FES PET in breast cancer

Estrogen receptor (ER) is overexpressed in approximately 2/3 of breast cancer patients’ lesions. Noninvasive detection of ER in vivo and dynamic monitoring of ER are crucial for individualized treatment decision-making. 16α-18F-17β-fluoroestradiol (18F-FES) positron emission tomography (PET) has bee...

description Estrogen receptor (ER) is overexpressed in approximately 2/3 of breast cancer patients’ lesions. Noninvasive detection of ER in vivo and dynamic monitoring of ER are crucial for individualized treatment decision-making. 16α-18F-17β-fluoroestradiol (18F-FES) positron emission tomography (PET) has been used in a variety of preclinical and clinical studies to detect ER expression. However, there is still a lack of technical specifications in China. This technical specification was jointly written by domestic experts who had experience of 18F-FES PET imaging and was formed through consultation based on their own experience and research progress in this field both domestically and internationally. This technical specification introduced the synthesis method and quality control requirements of 18F-FES, recommended its clinical application scenarios, and classified them. In addition, experts’ suggestions were provided throughout the entire process systemically and detailly, including pre-imaging preparation, imaging process, image analysis (normal biological distribution, determination of ER positive and negative, lesion detection, influencing factors, false negative and false positive, report requirements), and the limitations of this imaging technique were proposed. The future application prospects were also discussed. This specification aimed to promote the standardized application of 18F-FES PET in China, achieve repeatability and comparability, and provide important molecular imaging technical support for accurate diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.
