Effect of image registration on 3D absorbed dose calculations in 177Lu-DOTATOC peptide receptor radionuclide therapy.
Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is an effective MRT (molecular radiotherapy) treatment, which consists of multiple administrations of a radiopharmaceutical labelled with 177Lu or 90Y. Through sequential functional imaging a patient specific 3D dosimetry can be derived. Multiple scans should be previously co-registered to allow accurate absorbed dose calculations. The purpose of thi...
متن کاملPeptide receptor radionuclide therapy.
On their plasma membranes, cells express receptor proteins with high affinity for regulatory peptides, such as somatostatin. Changes in the density of these receptors during disease, for example, overexpression in many tumors, provide the basis for new imaging methods. The first peptide analogues successfully applied for visualization of receptor-positive tumors were radiolabeled somatostatin a...
متن کاملPeptide receptor radionuclide therapy as a new tool in treatment-refractory sarcoidosis - initial experience in two patients
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disorder of unknown etiology that can involve virtually all organ systems. Whereas most patients present without symptoms, progressive and disabling organ failure can occur in up to 10% of subjects. Somatostatin receptor (SSTR)-directed peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) has recently received market authorization for treatment of SSTR-positiv...
متن کاملTargeted radionuclide therapy with 90Y-DOTATOC in patients with neuroendocrine tumors.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of targeted radionuclide therapy with [90Y-DOTA0, Tyr3]-octreotide (90Y-DOTATOC) in patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumors. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred and sixteen patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumors were included. All patients were pre-therapeutically staged with morphological imaging procedures an...
متن کاملDigital PCR: a powerful new tool for noninvasive prenatal diagnosis?
Recent reports have indicated that digital PCR may be useful for the noninvasive detection of fetal aneuploidies by the analysis of cell-free DNA and RNA in maternal plasma or serum. In this review we provide an insight into the underlying technology and its previous application in the determination of the allelic frequencies of oncogenic alterations in cancer specimens. We also provide an indi...
