In this case, 46-year-old man was inappropriately treated with antibiotics months by various doctors, the time diagnosis NET made, tumor had already metastasized to entire skeleton.

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic performance of simultaneous whole-body Ga-DOTANOC PET/MRI compared with Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT for detection of distant metastatic disease in patients with well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). METHODS Patients with histologically proven, well-differentiated NET (G1 or G2) were included in this prospective, institutional review...

Somatostatin (SST) is a neuropeptide present in neurons, endocrine cells, and a wide range of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). 68Ga-DOTATOC, 68Ga-DOTANOC, and 68Ga-DOTATATE are current SST analogues used for PET/CT which bind to SST receptors expressed in NETs. These SST analogues have been used successfully for diagnosis of SST-expressing tumors with a more sensitive detection technique than conv...

UNLABELLED Several authors reported the superiority of (68)Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT to conventional imaging (CI) for the assessment of neuroendocrine tumors (NET). However, the detection of a higher number of lesions is not necessarily followed by a modification of disease stage or therapeutic approach. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of (68)Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT on the clinical management ...
