Preferred Label : 5-[18F]Fluorouracil;
NCIt synonyms : 5 18F Fluorouracil;
NCIt definition : The fluorine-18 (18F)-radiolabeled pyrimidine analog 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) with positron-emitting
activity. Upon administration, 5-[18F]fluorouracil distribution in tumor tissue may
be measured with positron emission tomography (PET). The degree of 5-[18F]fluorouracil
uptake in tumor 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.;
