NCIt related terms : GALLIUM (68GA) BOCLATIXAFORTIDE;
NCIt definition : A radioconjugate composed of a synthetic, cyclic pentapeptide analog of stromal-cell
derived factor-1 (SDF-1 or CXCL12), which is a ligand for chemokine receptor C-X-C
chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4), that is radiolabeled, via the macrocyclic chelating
agent dodecanetetraacetic acid (DOTA), with the radioisotope gallium Ga 68 (Ga68;
68Ga), with potential use for imaging CXCR4-expressing cells upon positron emission
tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT). Upon administration of 68Ga pentixafor,
the pentixafor moiety targets and binds to CXCR4-expressing cancer cells. Upon PET/CT,
CXCR4-expressing cancer cells can be visualized and the expression status of the receptor
can be assessed. CXCR4, a marker of poorly differentiated cells, is overexpressed
on various cancer cells, and plays a key role in tumor growth, progression, invasiveness
and metastasis.;
