Superiority of [<sup>11</sup>C]methionine over [<sup>18</sup>F]deoxyglucose for PET Imaging of Multiple Cancer Types Due to the Methionine Addiction of Cancer

Positron emission tomography (PET) is widely used to detect cancers. The usual isotope for PET imaging of cancer is [<sup>18</sup>F]deoxyglucose. The premise of using [<sup>18</sup>F]deoxyglucose is that cancers are addicted to glucose (The Warburg effect). However, cancers a...
