Existing somatostatin-based radiotracers (e.g. 111In-DOTATOC) have sole affinity for somatostatin receptor subtype 2 (sst2). This represents a drawback, given that sst1–5 have been shown to be over-expressed in different tumours, alone or concomitantly [1]. Our goal, therefore, was to develop radiopeptides with broader receptor subtype profiles. …Anzeige
