Minigastrin has shown to be a potential therapeutic agent for thyroid carcinoma by targeting cancer-promoting cholecystokinin receptors[2] A 2018 study further elaborates by using radiochemical labeling to show that Indium-111 labeled minigastrin peptides showing to have stronger affinity to cholecystokinin B receptors (CCK2) in neuroendocrine cancers.[3]
