Mechanisms Responsible for Radioactive Tracer Uptake in Malignancies

  • Conference paper
Nuclear Medicine in Clinical Oncology

Tumors, a collection of cells altered so as to reproduce true to type, represent a growth against which the host can demonstrate no adequate control mechanisms. The tumor cell determines its own activities, irrespective of the biologic rules governing the growth of normal cells. Without this single characteristic, there would be no tumors.
