Advances in the application of HER2 radioactive molecular probes for tumour diagnosis and treatment
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2),which is abnormally expressed or mutated in a variety of tumours,promotes the initiation of a variety of signalling pathways related to cell proliferation and tumourigenesis,and is one of the most important targets for tumour diagnosis and treatment.Nuclear medicine uses radiotracer technology to precisely locate lesions and PET/SPECT imaging to achieve early diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring of tumours.HER2 radiotracer probes,including antibodies,small molecule peptides,amphiphiles,and anchoring repeat proteins,are undergoing active research and development,and are one of the hotspots of research in the field of nuclear medicine.Based on the types of HER2 radioactive molecular probes and the disease classification of HER2-positive tumours,this paper reviewed the research progress of nuclear medicine technology applied to the diagnosis and treatment of HER2-positive tumours.
