A Subset of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients Treated with Pemetrexed Show <sup>18</sup>F-Fluorothymidine “Flare” on Positron Emission Tomography

Thymidylate synthase (TS) remains a major target for cancer therapy. TS inhibition elicits increases in DNA salvage pathway activity, detected as a transient compensatory “flare” in 3′-deoxy-3′-[<sup>18</sup>F]fluorothymidine positron emission tomography (<sup>18</sup>F-FLT P...
