NCIt definition : A radiopharmaceutical consisting of an estradiol analogue radiolabeled with the positron-emitting
isotope fluorine F 18. F-18 16 alpha-fluoroestradiol is actively taken up in tumor
cells expressing the estrogen receptor (ER), allowing visualization of ER-positive
tumor cells with positron emission tomography (PET). Uptake of this agent depends
upon the ER status of target tissues.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A radiolabeled substance being studied as an imaging agent in breast cancer.
F-18 16 alpha-fluoroestradiol binds to estrogen receptors and gives off radiation
that can be detected by a PET scan. The PET scan forms an image that shows where cancer
cells with estrogen receptors can be found in the body. It is a type of radioimaging
agent.;
