Both [18F]F- N-succinimidyl 4-18F-fluorobenzoate (FSB)-tenascin-C and [64Cu]Cu-NOTA-tenascin-C aptamers demonstrated significantly greater uptake in tenascin-C-positive tumours, U87MG and MDA-MB-231, compared to the tenascin-C-negative tumours, H460, suggesting that the aptamers did not lose their target specificity when radiolabelled with copper-64 for PET imaging in vivo [131] Thus, [68Ga]Ga-aptamers could provide highly specific and sensitive cancer detection and therefore improve patient outcomes with advantages of speed and cost-efficiency [118]. This evidence concerns the gene TNC and cancer.
