Abstract
Technetium-99m sestamibi (MIBI) is thought to be passively taken up by metabolically active tumour cells and effluxed from them by P-glycoprotein (Pgp). This 170-kDa membrane-bound protein, encoded by the MDR-1 gene, acts as an energy-dependent efflux pump for several antineoplastic agents, resulting in multidrug resistance. For this reason, it is of interest whether the tumour's response to chemotherapy can be predicted by MIBI single-photon emission tomography (SPET). In this study, MIBI SPET was compared with thallium-201 (Tl) SPET using magnetic resonance imaging as a guide in 16 patients with untreated brain tumours [ten glioblastomas (GBs), two anaplastic astrocytomas (AAs), two low-grade gliomas (LGASs) and two metastatic brain tumours) and in four patients who had received treatment for with brain tumours (two GBs, two AAs). In addition, we investigated the expression of the MDR-1 gene and its product Pgp in the same patients, and compared the results with MIBI SPET findings. MIBI, as well as Tl, was highly accumulated and retained in the enhanced region of malignant gliomas. In addition, MIBI SPET yielded sharp and well-contrasted images, and the margin of the tumour was more clearly defined than with Tl SPET due to a ...Continue Reading
