Abstract

Radiolabeled epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) targeted antibody could be used for imaging EGFR expressing cancer. In this study, the SPECT probe 125I-Necitumumab were synthesized and evaluated for SPECT imaging of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In vivo biodistribution study indicated that 125I-Necitumumab was cleared rapidly in most organs and tissues. Though the tumor expressed a relatively high level of EGFR, however SPECT images showed no obvious uptake in the tumors. Therefore, we considered that 125I-Necitumumab was not suitable for EGFR-targeted NSCLC SPECT imaging.
