5-(18F)fluorouracil
The fluorine-18 (18F)-radiolabeled pyrimidine analogue 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) with positron-emitting activity. Upon administration, 5-(18F)fluorouracil distribution in tumour tissue may be measured with positron emission tomography (PET). The degree of 5-(18F)fluorouracil uptake in tumour tissue may help to predict the response to 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy or to determine the response to other therapeutic agents used to treat 5-FU-sensitive tumors.
