18Fluorine-Fluciclovine PET/CT for Staging Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Preceding Radical Cystectomy

18F-fluciclovine is a new radiotracer. This radiotracer targets amino-acid transporters, which are overexpressed in multiple cancers.

Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) uses small amounts of radioactive materials called radiotracers, a special camera and a computer to help evaluate organ and tissue functions.
