Effect of combined treatment on the 18FDG and 18F-FLT uptake of Pgp positive and negative human ovarian (left side) and epidermoid carcinoma (right side) tumors. (a) 18FDG and 18F-FLT miniPET images of control and combined treated Pgp (left side, black arrows) and Pgp+ (right side, red arrows) tumor-bearing mice (coronal sections). No tumors can be visualized in the treated animals. (b) The SUVmean and SUVmax and the mean and maximum T/M ratios are displayed (bars represent mean ± SEM). Statistically significant differences in comparison to combined treated tumors are indicated (, , and ).
