Tumor uptake and tumor/blood ratios for [89Zr]Zr-DFO-trastuzumab-DM1 on microPET/CT images in NOD/SCID mice with human breast cancer xenografts are directly correlated with HER2 expression and response to trastuzumab-DM1

Our objective was to determine correlations between the tumor uptake and T/B ratios for 89Zr-labeled T-DM1 (89Zr-DFO-T-DM1) in mice with human BC xenografts by microPET/CT and biodistribution studies with HER2 expression and response to treatment with trastuzumab-DM1 (T-DM1). The tumor and normal tissue uptake and T/B ratios for 89Zr-DFO-T-DM1 (10 μg; 7.0 MBq) incorporated into a therapeutic dose (60 μg) were determined by microPET/CT and...
