Exploitation of CD133 for the Targeted Imaging of Lethal Prostate Cancer

Abstract

Aggressive variant prostate cancer (AVPC) is a nonandrogen receptor–driven form of disease that arises in men in whom standard-of-care therapies have failed. Therapeutic options for AVPC are limited, and the development of novel therapeutics is significantly hindered by the inability to accurately quantify patient response to therapy by imaging. Imaging modalities that accurately and sensitively detect the bone and visceral metastases associated with AVPC do not exist.
