متن کاملA Patient With Metastatic Sarcoma was Successfully Treated With Radiolabeled Somatostatin Analogs
We present a sarcoma patient with a tumor reduction of more than 50% in lung metastasis after 2 single courses of the investigational medical product Lutathera (Lu-DOTA0-Tyr3-octreotate). She was resistant to more than 6 lines of therapy including all the available active drugs in soft tissue sarcomas. The high expression of somatostatin receptors was shown by microarrays and Octreoscan. The ov...
متن کاملA Metastatic Paraganglioma presenting as Multiple Intrapulmonary Nodules
Most of the tumors (85-90%) arise in the adrenal medulla, and the tumors are denoted as pheochromocytomas. Extra-adrenal paragangliomas account for the remaining 10-15% of lesions and can be found in practically every site of the normal paraganglia (1-3). Thoracic paragangliomas constitute only 1-2% of all paragangliomas and the tumors are mostly found in the mediastinal compartment (2). A meta...
