Radiolabeled gastrin/CCK analogs in tumor diagnosis: towards higher stability and improved tumor targeting.

Gastrin and cholecystokinin (CCK) peptides that bind with high affinity and specificity to CCK2R can be used as carriers of radioactivity to CCK2R-expressing tumor sites. Several gastrin and CCK related peptides have been proposed for diagnostic imaging and radionuclide therapy of primary and metastatic CCK2R-positive human tumors.

Coinjection of the NEP inhibitor phosphoramidon (PA) with radiolabeled gastrin and other peptide analogs has been recently proposed as a new promising strategy to increase bioavailability and tumor-localization of radiopeptides in tumor sites.
