Comparative results of 18F FLT and 18F FDG PET CT in lymphoma and lung cancer - a pilot study.

Conclusion: In this initial study, 18F-FLT radiotracer uptake correlated well with clinical outcome of the patients, successfully differentiating proliferative malignant lesions from other benign concomitant etiologies. Scan results demonstrated low grade to absent FLT tracer uptake in benign inflammatory/infective cells as compared to higher grade concentration in tumor cells.
