摘要: PURPOSESince we have previously shown that the efflux rate of technetium 99m (99mTc) sestamibi, a transport substrate P-glycoprotein (Pgp), is directly correlated with Pgp levels in untreated breast carcinoma, tested whether tumor clearance 9mTc-sestamibi may be predictive therapeutic response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy patients locally advanced cancer.PATIENTS AND METHODSThirty-nine stage III disease, median diameter 5.8 cm (range, 3 10) were enrolled onto this prospective clinical trial and underwent 99mTc-sestamibi scan before chemotherapy. Patients injected intravenously (i.v.) 740 MBq 99mTc-sestamibi; 15-minute dynamic study was performed, static planar images obtained at 0.5, 1, 2, 4 hours. The time half calculated each patient from decay corrected time-activity curves using monoexponential fitting. treated epirubicin 150 mg/m2 i.v. every 2 weeks for ...
