In general, we agree with this review but we cannot support the opinion that the routine use of Positron-Emission-Tomography (PET) to identify progression of glioblastoma is not recommendable.The authors have considered PET using the amino acid tracer 11C-methyl-l-methionine (MET), but the use of MET is limited to PET centers with an on-site cyclotron due the short half-life of 11C (20.4 min). In recent years, the clinical application of 18F-labeled amino acids such as O-(2-18F-fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine (FET) or 3,4-dihydroxy-6-[18F]fluoro-l-phenylalanine (FDOPA) has spread considerably due to the logistical advantages of the 18F label (half-life, 109.8 min) [2]. FET can be produced with high yields similar to the widely used FDG and distributed in a satellite concept [3]. In Europe, MET PET has been replaced in many centers by the more convenie ...}, cin = {INM-3 / INM-4}, ddc = {610}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)INM-3-20090406 / I:(DE-Juel1)INM-4-20090406}, pnm = {333 - Pathophysiological Mechanisms of Neurological and Psychiatric Diseases (POF2-333) / 89572 - (Dys-)function and Plasticity (POF2-89572)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF2-333 / G:(DE-HGF)POF2-89572}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, UT = {WOS:000345286700028}, doi = {10.1007/s11060-014-1594-z}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/155422}, }
