The sodium iodide symporter (NIS) in its role as well characterized reporter and therapy gene represents an outstanding tool to target different cancer types allowing non-invasive imaging of functional NIS expression by 123I-scintigraphy and therapeutic application of 131I. Based on its overexpression on the surface of the vast majority of cancer types, the cMET/Hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR) serves as an ideal target for tumor-selective gene de...
