The future clinical relevance of this work is that since the proposed tracers will be pharmacologically identical to gemcitabine and its pro-drug analogues, their PET assayed uptake will be a direct indicator of their suitability of these agents in the treatment to an individual patient. This would represent an important step towards personalised cancer care facilitated by a single non-invasive scan.
