The prevalence of hyperprolactinemia in non-functioning pituitary macroadenomas.
OBJECTIVE The prevalence of hyperprolactinemia in non-functioning pituitary macroadenomas (NFPMAs) is not well known, and hyperprolactinemia caused by a NFPMA is currently associated with diagnostic uncertainty. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of hyperprolactinemia in NFPMAs. METHODS A meta-analysis of all existing articles in PubMed was conducted. The search string...
متن کاملDetection of Atherosclerotic Inflammation by 68Ga-DOTATATE PET Compared to [18F]FDG PET Imaging
BACKGROUND Inflammation drives atherosclerotic plaque rupture. Although inflammation can be measured using fluorine-18-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ([18F]FDG PET), [18F]FDG lacks cell specificity, and coronary imaging is unreliable because of myocardial spillover. OBJECTIVES This study tested the efficacy of gallium-68-labeled DOTATATE (68Ga-DOTATATE), a somatostati...
متن کامل68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging of indeterminate pulmonary nodules and lung cancer
PURPOSE 18F-FDG PET/CT is widely used to evaluate indeterminate pulmonary nodules (IPNs). False positive results occur, especially from active granulomatous nodules. A PET-based imaging agent with superior specificity to 18F-FDG for IPNs, is badly needed, especially in areas of endemic granulomatous nodules. Somatostatin receptors (SSTR) are expressed in many malignant cells including small cel...
متن کاملMedical therapy for clinically non-functioning pituitary adenomas.
Surgery is the first-line treatment of patients with clinically non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFAs). Because of lack of clinical syndrome these tumours are diagnosed with a variable delay, when patients suffer from compression symptoms (hypopituitarism, headache and visual field defects) due to the extension of the tumour outside the pituitary fossa. Surgery is followed by residual tumour...
متن کاملMeningiomas: A Comparative Study of 68Ga-DOTATOC, 68Ga-DOTANOC and 68Ga-DOTATATE for Molecular Imaging in Mice
PURPOSE The goal of this study was to compare the tumor uptake kinetics and diagnostic value of three (68)Ga-DOTA-labeled somatostatin analogues ((68)Ga-DOTATOC, (68)Ga-DOTANOC, and (68)Ga-DOTATATE) using PET/CT in a murine model with subcutaneous meningioma xenografts. METHODS The experiment was performed with 16 male NUDE NU/NU mice bearing xenografts of a human meningioma cell line (CH-157...
