چکیده

The present era of oncology is characterized by manifold and rapid advances in the management of solid tumors. New treatment modalities and new agents such as neo-adjuvant chemoradiation in rectal cancer or targeted therapies in non-small cell lung cancer have not only remarkably prolonged the survival, but also improved the quality of life of an ever increasing number of patients with solid neoplasms.

Preclinical study of a new 177Lu-labeled somatostatin receptor antagonist in HT-29 human colorectal cancer cells

Objective(s): Somatostatin receptor-positive neuroendocrine tumors have been targeted using various peptide analogs radiolabeled with therapeutic radionuclides for years. The better biomedical properties of radioantagonists as higher tumor uptake make these radioligands more attractive than agonists for somatostatin receptor-targeted radionuclide therapy. In this study...

Preparation, formulation and quality control of one step kit 99mTc- EDDA/HYNIC-Tyr3-Octreotide as a peptide radiopharmaceutical for imaging somatostatin receptor positive tumors [Persian]

The high expression of somatostatin receptors in many tumours, have made receptor scintigraphy with 111In-DTPA-Octreotide a widly used procedure in nuclear medicine. Despite its clinical success, some limitation and drawbacks of radiolabelling with 111In remain, especially those concerned with the cost, availability and physical decay properties of this radionuclide. 99mTc-EDDA/HYNIC-Tyr3...

Synthesis, labeling, formulation and quality control of 99mTc-Tricine-HYNIC-Tyr³-Octreotide, a peptide radiopharmaceutical for imaging Somatostatin receptor positive tumors [Persian]

Somatostatin analoges labeled with different radionuclides are able used for imaging and treatment of somatostatin receptor positive tumors. In this study Tyr³-Octreotide protected at lysine as an analoge of somatostatin was conjugated with bifunctional chelating agent 6-BOC-hydrazinopyridine-3-carboxylic acid (BOC-HYNIC) and after deprotecting of conjugate, purification was performed wit...

The Role of Nuclear Medicine in The Diagnosis and Management of Solitary Pulmonary Nodules

  Solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) is a frequent finding on the chest x-ray and computed tomography. Nuclear medicine techniques play an important role in the diagnosis and management of SPN. In the current review, we briefly will explain the different nuclear medicine modalities in this regard including positron emission tomography (PET) using 18-F-FDG, and 11-C-Methionine, and single photon em...

Demonstration of focal physiologic in-vivo somatostatin receptor expression in the caput epididymis of the testes on 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT and 177Lu-DOTATATE post-therapy whole body scintigraphy

We present the case of a 60-year-old man with metastatic neuroendocrine tumor of the ileum following ileal resection, being evaluated for 177Lu-based peptide receptor radionuclide therapy. 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT showed focal increased tracer uptake in the scrotal region without any morphologic changes on the corresponding CT images. Similar increased tracer uptake was seen on...
