Abstract
An optimized synthesis of 18F-labelled 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is described. The biodynamics of this radiopharmaceutical were studied in nude mice bearing a 5-FU sensitive (colon 38 carcinoma) or a 5-FU resistant (R1-rhabdomyosarcoma) tumour. It was found that not the initial tumour uptake, but the efflux of the 18F activity from the tumour was correlated with the 5-FU sensitivity of the tumour.Entities:
