AbstractToday, selective PET- and SPECT radiopharmaceuticals are not only available for αvβ3, but also for others of the 24 known integrin subtypes, including α5β1, αvβ6, αvβ8 und α6. These integrins are widely expressed by different carcinomas and in the course of fibrosis. Hence, integrin imaging offers a range of clinically relevant applications beyond imaging of angiogenesis. αvβ6 integrin radiopharmaceuticals, both diagnostic and therapeutic, have emerged as highly promising candidates for a clinical career, since αvβ6 is expressed by many malignant cancers, such as pancreatic, basal cell, squamous cell, lu…
