Nuclear medicine imaging and therapy of neuroendocrine tumours
Radiolabelled peptides are used for specific targeting of receptors (over-)expressed by tumour cells. Dependent on the kind of labelling and the radionuclide used, these compounds may be utilised for imaging or for therapy. A concise overview is provided on basic principles of designing and developing radiopeptides for these applications. Furthermore, clinical application of these compounds for...
متن کاملMolecular medicine imaging of neuroendocrine tumours
Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are a diverse, highly heterogeneous group of neoplasms derived from endocrine cells found in the neural crest. NETs typically display endocrine metabolism and slow growth, while displaying a wide range of presentations and clinical symptoms. Demonstrating typically small lesions, with varying anatomical localisation, diagnosis is typically in the advanced stages of...
متن کاملNuclear medicine techniques for the t of neuroendocrine tumours
Nuclear medicine plays a pivotal role in the imaging and treatment of neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) with [In-DTPA]octreotide has proven its role in the diagnosis and staging of gastroenteropancreatic NETs (GEP-NETs). New techniques in somatostatin receptor imaging include the use of different radiolabelled somatostatin analogues with higher affinity and...
متن کاملNeuroendocrine Tumors (NET) and Nuclear Medicine
The term NET groups together different types of cancer that develop in various regions of the human body. They are born, in fact, by cells with characteristics partly similar to nerve cells ("neuro") partly similar to the endocrine ones, scattered almost everywhere in the human organism. So, some NET develop in endocrine glands (such as adrenals, pituitary gland and pancreas), while others affe...
متن کاملNeuroendocrine tumours.
Neuroendocrine tumours are a heterogeneous group including, for example, carcinoid, gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours, pituitary tumours, medullary carcinoma of the thyroid and phaeochromocytomas. They have attracted much attention in recent years, both because they are relatively easy to palliate and because they have indicated the chronic effect of the particular hormone elevated....
