Abstract
- <superscript>18</superscript> F-fluoroestradiol ( <superscript>18</superscript> F-FES) is a Food and Drug Administration-approved radiopharmaceutical used for molecular imaging of the estrogen receptor (ER). When combined with PET, <superscript>18</superscript> F-FES may improve the diagnosis of ER-positive breast cancer in the metastatic setting and provide insights into tumor heterogeneity. In this article, we review data on the use of <superscript>18</superscript> F-FES imaging for treatment selection, staging, imaging lobular breast cancer, and the novel breast specific imaging tool, dedicated breast PET.<br />Competing Interests: Disclosure No disclosures for all authors included in this article.<br /> (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
