Brain tumors cancer biology

The radioactive form of iodine (1). It has a half-life of 8 days. Since its presence can be detected by a Geiger counter or similar instrument, iodine 131 has numerous uses in biology and medicine. Substances can be tagged with iodine 131 and then their metabolism, movement, or disappearance can be followed in the body. Medical diagnostic and therapeutic uses include thyroid function, blood volume, location of brain tumors, cancer treatment, and hyperthyroid treatment. [Pg.594]

PET could improve the delineation of GTV in some tumor entities like brain tumors, lung cancer, and head and neck cancer. Therefore, its impact on the clinical outcome has to be evaluated in prospective trials. The role of PET for the visualization of tumor biology is unclear. However, this approach could open new perspectives in treatment planning and monitoring of solid tumors and has to be assessed in the future in experimental and clinical studies. [Pg.163]
