Preferred Label : Fluorine F 18 Fluoro Furanyl Norprogesterone;
NCIt synonyms : [18F]FFNP;
NCIt definition : The progesterone derivative fluoro furanyl norprogesterone (FFNP), radiolabeled with
fluorine F 18, with positron-emitting radioligand activity. Upon injection, fluorine
F 18 fluoro furanyl norprogesterone (F18-FFNP) binds to progesterone receptors (PgR)
in progesterone-responsive tissues. In PgR-positive breast cancer, positron emission
tomography (PET) may then be used to quantitate hormone receptor status.;
