ABSTRACT: Background
Epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) are overexpressed on many head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) with F(ab')2 of the anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody panitumumab labeled with the β-particle emitter, 177Lu may be a promising treatment for HNSCC. Our aim was to assess the feasibility of a theranostic strategy that combines positron emission tomography (PET) with [64Cu]Cu-DOTA-panitumumab F(ab')2 to image HNSCC and predict the radiation equivalent doses to the tumour and normal organs from RIT with [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-panitumumab F(ab')2.Results
Panitumumab F(ab')2 were conjugated to DOTA and complexed to 64Cu or 177Lu in high radioche
