Preferred Label : Copper Cu 62 Ethylglyoxal Bis(thiosemicarbazone);
NCIt synonyms : 62Cu-Ethylglyoxal Bis(thiosemicarbazone); 62Cu-Ethylglyoxal Bis; 62Cu-ETS;
NCIt definition : A radiopharmaceutical composed of the nonspecific perfusion agent ethylglyoxal bis(thiosemicarbazone)
(ETS) linked to the beta-emitting, radioisotope copper Cu 62, with potential tumor
imaging activity upon positron emitting tomography (PET). Upon injection, copper Cu
62-ETS distributes to various organs, especially the kidneys and the myocardium. Upon
PET imaging, tumor blood flow can be visualized and the efficacy of antineoplastic
and anti-angiogenic chemotherapeutics can be assessed. Cu62-ETS has a short half life
of 9.74 minutes. ETS has an enhanced hyperemic response compared to other perfusion
agents.;
