Theranostics: radionuclide imaging and therapy in neuroendocrine tumours
Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are a heterogeneous group with significant variation in morphological characteristics and functional behaviour. This poses challenges in terms of both biochemical and imaging assessment. Somatostatin receptor (sst) overexpression is documented in several malignancies. The sst subtype 2 (sst2) is overexpressed in NETs [1] and can be targeted for both somatostatin re...
متن کاملTheranostics of Neuroendocrine Tumors.
Somatostatin receptor positron emission tomography/computed tomography using 68Ga-labeled somatostatin analogs is the mainstay for the evaluation of receptor status in neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). This translates towards better therapy options, with increasing evidence of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) as the treatment of choice for advanced or progressive NETs. There are benefit...
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....
متن کاملAppendicular Neuroendocrine Tumours in Children: Unicentric Retrospective Study
Background: Neuroendocrine Neoplasms (NEN) represent 60% of all appendicular tumours. This type of cancer is predominantly benign. In this study, appendicular NEN tumours in children were investigated. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on 540 patients underwent emergency appendectomy for the treatment of clinically suspected appendicitis at the department of p...
متن کاملGastric neuroendocrine tumours.
BACKGROUND Gastric neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are increasingly recognised, and management decisions may be difficult due to an incomplete understanding of aetiology, natural history and optimum therapy. This article presents a current understanding based on recent advances in epidemiology, classification, molecular profiling, and treatment. METHODS Relevant medical literature was identifie...
