68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging of indeterminate pulmonary nodules and lung cancer
PURPOSE 18F-FDG PET/CT is widely used to evaluate indeterminate pulmonary nodules (IPNs). False positive results occur, especially from active granulomatous nodules. A PET-based imaging agent with superior specificity to 18F-FDG for IPNs, is badly needed, especially in areas of endemic granulomatous nodules. Somatostatin receptors (SSTR) are expressed in many malignant cells including small cel...
متن کاملVideo Assisted Thoracic Surgery for Indeterminate Pulmonary Nodules
The approach to patients with indeterminate pulmonary nodules is poorly defined. Should every pulmonary nodule be biopsied, is needle biopsy adequate, and other questions are challenges. Video assisted thoracic surgery or thoracoscopy has added a new diagnostic possibility which is evaluated in this paper. Fifty-five patients underwent thoracoscopy for diagnosis of a solitary pulmonary nodule. ...
متن کاملThyroid Nodules with Indeterminate Cytology
To the Editor: Alexander et al. (Aug. 23 issue)1 report findings from a prospective, multicenter gene-expression classifier validation study that raises several questions. For the 265 indeterminate fine-needle aspirates they tested, the geneexpression classifier had a sensitivity of 92%, a specificity of 52%, a positive predictive value of 47%, and a negative predictive value of 93%. Why the ob...
متن کاملPneumonia occurring after injection of Lipiodol to localize pulmonary nodules before fluoroscopy-aided thoracoscopic resection
We report the case of a 33-year-old man with a testicular tumor and multiple lung metastases. After high orchiectomy, chemotherapy was administered. Subsequently, fluoroscopy-assisted thoracoscopic resection was performed for pulmonary lesions that had decreased in size after the chemotherapy but had persisted. Because four pulmonary lesions were too small to detect by fluoroscopy during the op...
متن کاملPhotoacoustic Imaging in Oncology: Translational Preclinical and Early Clinical Experience.
Photoacoustic imaging has evolved into a clinically translatable platform with the potential to complement existing imaging techniques for the management of cancer, including detection, characterization, prognosis, and treatment monitoring. In photoacoustic imaging, tissue is optically excited to produce ultrasonographic images that represent a spatial map of optical absorption of endogenous co...
