Targated Molecular Imaging in Oncology

This volume is unique in reporting on strategies for the application of molecular targeted imaging agents such as
antibodies, peptides, receptors and contrast agents in the biologic grading of tumors, differential diagnosis of
tumors, prediction of therapeutic response and monitoring tumor response to treatment. It also includes updated
information on the imaging of tumor angiogenesis, hypoxia, apoptosis and gene delivery as well as expression in the
understanding and utility of tumor molecular biology for better cancer management.
