A case of colon cancer incidentally detected by 18F-choline PET/CT.
    Clinical nuclear medicine, 2013, Volume: 38, Issue:12

    A 65-year-old man had restaging of prostate cancer with an 18F-choline PET/CT, which revealed focal uptake in a thickened posterior wall of sigmoid colon. Biopsy demonstrated colon cancer. Incidental colorectal 18F-choline uptake should be further investigated with histological analysis.

[18F]fluoromethyl-[1,2-2H4]-choline: a novel radiotracer for imaging choline metabolism in tumors by positron emission tomography.
    Cancer research, 2009, Oct-01, Volume: 69, Issue:19

    Current radiotracers for positron emission tomography imaging of choline metabolism have poor systemic metabolic stability in vivo. We describe a novel radiotracer, [(18)F]fluoromethyl-[1,2-(2)H(4)]-choline (D4-FCH), that employs deuterium isotope effect to improve metabolic stability. D4-FCH proved more resistant to oxidation than its nondeuterated analogue, [(18)F]fluoromethylcholine, in plasma, kidneys, liver, and tumor, while retaining phosphorylation potential. Tumor radiotracer levels, a determinant of sensitivity in imaging studies, were improved by deuterium substitution; tumor uptake values expressed as percent injected dose per voxel at 60 min were 7.43 +/- 0.47 and 5.50 +/- 0.49 for D4-FCH and [(18)F]fluoromethylcholine, respectively (P = 0.04). D4-FCH was also found to be a useful response biomarker. Treatment with the mitogenic extracellular kinase inhibitor PD0325901 resulted in a reduction in tumor radiotracer uptake that occurred in parallel with reductions in choline kinase A expression. In conclusion, D4-FCH is a very promising metabolically stable radiotracer for imaging choline metabolism in tumors.
