Enhancement of Cancer-Specific Protoporphyrin IX Fluorescence by Targeting Oncogenic Ras/MEK Pathway.

TL;DR: Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) is an endogenous fluorescent molecule that selectively accumulates in cancer cells treated with the heme precursor 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), and inhibition of oncogenic Ras/MEK significantly enhances PpIX accumulation in vitro and in vivo in a cancer-specific manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

11C-methinine uptake correlates with MGMT promoter methylation in nonenhancing gliomas

TL;DR: A higher uptake in (11)C-methionine PET could be a useful tool to detect MGMT promoter methylation in nonenhancing glioma.
