In Vivo Trafficking of the Anticancer Drug Tris(8-Quinolinolato) Gallium (III) (KP46) by Gallium-68/67 PET/SPECT Imaging [PDF]
KP46 (tris(hydroxyquinolinato)gallium(III)) is an experimental, orally administered anticancer drug. Its absorption, delivery to tumours, and mode of action are poorly understood. We aimed to gain insight into these issues using gallium-67 and gallium-68

Squamous cell carcinoma diagnosed as a suspected neuroendocrine tumor by gallium-68 DOTA-Tyr-octreotate positron emission tomography scan: A case report [PDF]
Gallium-68 DOTA-Tyr 3 -octreotate positron emission tomography scan is an important radiologic tool for detecting neuroendocrine tumors. It detects neoplasms by capturing the tumor’s increased density of somatostatin receptor expression.
