Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Kaiyumars B Contractor"
- Kaiyumars B Contractor's research primarily focuses on the application and optimization of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging techniques in breast cancer, particularly involving the use of radiotracers such as [18F]fluorothymidine and [11C]choline to assess tumor proliferation and treatment response.
- His studies reveal that population-based input functions for PET data can yield accurate estimates of tumor proliferation without the need for extensive blood sampling, thereby improving patient convenience in clinical settings.
- Additionally, Contractor's work investigates the pharmacokinetics of imaging agents and their potential as biomarkers for predicting treatment efficacy, emphasizing the importance of molecular characteristics in individual tumor response to therapy.
