In vitro biological activity of 99mTc-DESCIP was examined in breast adenocarcinoma cells (MCF-7), prostatic carcinoma cells (PC-3), and pulmonary epithelial cells (A-549). In vivo lymph node imaging was performed in normal and receptor blocked female New Zealand rabbits. Results demonstrated that 99mTc-DESCIP and DESCIP has potential for imaging ER-enriched tumors such as breast and prostate tumors, and their metastases in the lung, as well as improving management for their therapies. © 2017, Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, Hungary.en10.1007/s10967-017-5630-2info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBreast cancerCancer imagingDiethylstilbestrolLung cancerProstate cancerQuantum dot nanoparticlesMultifunctional molecular imaging probes for estrogen receptors: 99mTc labeled diethylstilbestrol (DES) conjugated, cuinp quantum dot nanoparticles (DESCIP)Article314326092620Q2
