Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009109798A2] The present invention pertains to methods for the treatment and diagnosis of cancer employing prodrugs for targeting of lipid metabolism comprising either a detectable label or a therapeutic residue. The invention is based on the finding that the present prodrugs are specifically enriched in tumor tissue, in which they may be detected by suitable imaging techniques. Alternatively, a prodrug comprising a therapeutic residue, such as a suitable radioactive residue, may be used for the treatment of cancer.
