Popis: Lung cancer is the commonest cancer killer. Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is initially chemosensitive, but rapidly relapses in a chemoresistant form with an overall survival of 6 months in 50% of mice. These effects were not a consequence of disrupted tumor vasculature but instead correlated with increased apoptosis (caspase 3 and cytokeratin 18 cleavage) in excised tumors. Moreover, in vivo imaging with 3′-deoxy-3′-[18F]fluorothymidine–positron emission tomography ([18F]FLT-PET) showed decreased intratumoral proliferation in live animals treated with the compound at 7 to 14 days. Our results suggest that clinical trials of FGFR inhibitors should be undertaken in patients with SCLC and that [18F]FLT-PET imaging could provide early in vivo evidence of response.
