Traditional methods of diagnosing malignant cancer are invasive, expensive, and not always accurate. Now, a new way to identify cancer cells stands ready to change…
This publication showed that VIP receptors are very important in the biology of many malignancies and are overexpressed in many tumors; thus, VIP receptors can…
This feasibility study demonstrated the compelling need for an innovative approach that would decrease the number of unnecessary benign biopsies while still detecting the malignancies….
In recent years, imaging tumors with receptor-specific biomolecules has been the focus of increasing interest. Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)(VPAC) has a high affinity for specific…
The evaluation of peptide receptors in man is needed not only to discover the physiological target tissues of a given peptide but also to identify…
