Critical Role of 2-[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-glucose in Hormonally Active Malignancies

2-[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG) is the most commonly used radiotracer and provides valuable information about glucose metabolism. With the advent of newer receptor-based tracers in the management of hormonally active malignancies, the focus has been shifted from FDG. These tracers might be more specific than FDG because they target specific hormone receptors. But because FDG is widely available, this review discusses what information still...
