Molecular identification of a metastatic tumour without the inconvenience of a biopsy and the time required for pathological characterization is possible using molecular imaging. Here, we present the case of a patient with breast cancer in whom Ga-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positron emission tomography-CT was successfully employed to characterize the expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 in metastatic sites.

Objective: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and metastasis are the primary causes of mortality in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). 5'-3' exoribonuclease 2 (XRN2) plays an important role in the process of tumor EMT. Thus, this investigation mainly aimed to clarify the precise molecular pathways through which XRN2 contributes to EMT and metastasis in NSCLC.
