Abstract

There is provided a positron-emitting radionuclide labelled peptide for non-invasive PET imaging of the Urokinase-type Plasminogen Activator Receptor (uPAR) in humans. More specifically the invention relates to human uPAR PET imaging of any solid cancer disease for diagnosis, staging, treatment monitoring and especially as an imaging biomarker for predicting prognosis, progression and recurrence.
