Abstract: In vivo epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) imaging has great potential to affect patient-specific treatment for NSCLC,applying a targeted therapy,and measuring molecular-specific effects of treatment.New PET/CT radiotracers,such as N-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)-6-methoxy-7-[(1-methylpiperidin-4-yl) methoxy]quinazolin-4-amine (ZD6476),five 4-(anilino) quinazoline derivatives (ML01) and 4-[(3-iodophenyl) amino]-7-(2-[2-{ 2-(2-[2-{ 2-([18F]fluoroethoxy)-ethoxy {-ethoxy]-ethoxy)-ethoxy}-ethoxy]-quinazoline-6-yl-acrylamide) ([18F]F-PEG6-IPQA) are now available.But,11C labeled-4-N-(3-bromoanilino)-6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline (PD153035) is the only PET/CT radiotracer used for human clinical evaluation,primarily for EGFR imaging.Finally,the most important aspect of successful imaging is the identification and characterization of EGFR at the cellular or sub-cellular level with high specificity for the target.Considering the need for further development of such PET/CT tracers,EGFR molecular imaging will be presented along with an important examination of the progression that has been made thus far in the field.
