Octreotide scanning for carcinoid tumours.
The somatostatin analogue octreotide may be used in the diagnosis of carcinoid and other neuroendocrine tumours. Radionuclide scanning following intravenous injection of 111Indium-labelled octreotide (111In-DTPA-pentetreotide) provides a sensitive, non-invasive method of localising somatostatin-positive tumours. The technique may also be used to identify patients who may respond to 'cold' octre...
متن کاملMetastatic Recurrence of Typical Pulmonary Carcinoid Accompanied by Carcinoid Syndrome, Successfully Treated with Octreotide LAR
We present a case of metastatic recurrence of carcinoid tumor accompanied by carcinoid syndrome in a 68-year-old Japanese man, 12 years after resection of typical pulmonary carcinoid. Histopathologic examination from percutaneous liver biopsy revealed metastatic typical carcinoid. Clinical symptoms gradually improved after administration of octreotide LAR. Two years after starting treatment, th...
متن کاملOctreotide LAR and bolus octreotide are insufficient for preventing intraoperative complications in carcinoid patients.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Surgery in carcinoid patients can provoke a carcinoid crisis, which can have serious sequelae, including death. Octreotide prophylaxis is recommended to prevent carcinoid crisis, however there are few reports of outcomes and no large series examining its efficacy. We hypothesized that a 500 µg prophylactic octreotide dose is sufficient to prevent carcinoid crisis. ME...
متن کامل90Y-edotreotide for metastatic carcinoid refractory to octreotide.
PURPOSE Metastatic carcinoid is an incurable malignancy whose symptoms, such as diarrhea and flushing, can be debilitating and occasionally life-threatening. Although symptom relief is available with octreotide, the disease eventually becomes refractory to octreotide, leaving no proven treatment options. The goal of this study was to evaluate the clinical effect of using (90)Y-edotreotide to tr...
متن کاملEctopic Cushing's syndrome and pulmonary carcinoid tumour identified by [11tIn-DTPA-D-Phel] octreotide
Accepted 23 July 1997 Summary The differential diagnosis and management of Cushing's syndrome remain difficult, particularly for ectopic adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) syndromes resulting from small bronchial carcinoids. We report the case of a 41-year-old man with ectopic ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome. Two computed tomography scans of the thorax were normal and magnetic resonance imaging ofthe...
