Expression of adenine nucleotide translocase2 regulates 18F-FDG accumulation in thyroid cancer cells

Conclusions We showed that ANT2 expression is related with FDG uptake in the thyroid carcinoma cells by modulating ANT2 expression. Also we showed correlation between ANT2 expression and thyroid cancer stage. Our result suggests that the evaluation of ANT2 expression can be used as a possible prognostic marker for FDG PET positive tumor.
