In images from the study, PET scans of animal models show tumor-resistant cancer cells light up brighter compared to tumors responsive to treatment. The authors will now trial this in humans with ...

Researchers have used a chemical compound to light up treatment-resistant cancers on imaging scans, in a breakthrough that could help medical professionals better target and treat cancer. The authors ...

The paper, published today in Nature Communications, shows therapy-resistant non-small cell lung cancer tumors 'lit up like a Christmas tree' on PET scans when the radiotracer was injected.
