Radiolabeled annexin-V for monitoring treatment response in oncology

Cancer Biother Radiopharm. 2004 Apr;19(2):189-94. doi: 10.1089/108497804323071968.

Abstract

Because of its potential to allow for noninvasive, repetitive, and selective in vivo identification of the site and extent of apoptotic cell death and for monitoring cell death kinetics without the need for invasive biopsy, radiolabeled annexin-V is of major clinical relevance. This paper reviews available preclinical and clinical data on radiolabeled annexin-V pertaining to the domain of monitoring response to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, focusing especially on advantages and drawbacks of the different labeling procedures for the radiolabeling of annexin-V.
