In vivo 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy demonstrates that human melanoma xenografts can be significantly acidified by induction of hyperglycemia combined with administration of m-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG), an inhibitor of mitochondrial respiration. In melanoma xenografts (< or =8 mm diameter), intracellular pH (pHi, measured by the chemical shift of the Pi resonance) and extracellular pH (...
BACKGROUND Iodine-131-metaiodobenzylguanidine ((131)I-MIBG) provides targeted radiotherapy for children with neuroblastoma. The aim of our study was to evaluate systematically the acute effects of (131)I-MIBG on blood pressure in patients with neuroblastoma and to identify possible predictors of hypertension. PROCEDURE We conducted a retrospective chart review of neuroblastoma patients who we...
Neuroblastoma is an embryonal tumor derived from the peripheral sympathetic nervous system. Metastatic disease is present at diagnosis in half of the cases. Despite improvement in outcome with intensification of therapy and treatment of minimal residual disease, 15%of patients with high-risk neuroblastoma have disease that is refractory to induction chemotherapy, and more than 50% of patients w...
Pheochromocytomas are rare tumors arising from chromaffin cells of adrenal medullary or extra-adrenal paraganglionic tissue. These tumors are characterized by synthesis, storage, metabolism and secretion of catecholamines. Similar to the sympathetic nervous system, pheochromocytomas express cellular norepinephrine transporters (NET) through which catecholamines can enter pheochromocytoma cells ...

OBJECTIVE To assess non-invasively the effect of enalapril on cardiac sympathetic neuronal uptake function in patients with congestive heart failure, by using [123I]-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG), which is a noradrenaline analogue. Cardiac MIBG uptake was visualised by single photon emission tomography (SPET). In addition, plasma noradrenaline concentration, indicating systemic sympathetic act...
INTRODUCTION Neuroblastoma, a neoplasm of the sympathetic nervous system, is the second most extracranial malignant solid tumor of childhood. Many therapeutic strategies has evolved over the last 20 years, based upon work by international cooperative groups and smaller cohort studies. Novel therapies to improve initial disease response and treatment of minimal residual disease are required to i...
UNLABELLED (131)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is specifically taken up in neuroblastoma, with a response rate of 20%-37% in relapsed disease. Nonradioactive carrier MIBG molecules inhibit uptake of (131)I-MIBG, theoretically resulting in less tumor radiation and increased risk of cardiovascular toxicity. Our aim was to establish the maximum tolerated dose of no-carrier-added (NCA) (131)I-MIB...
BACKGROUND To evaluate the biodistribution of therapeutic (131)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) and assess the sensitivity of diagnostic versus therapeutic (131)I-MIBG scans to detect metastatic disease. PROCEDURE This retrospective study included 44 diagnostic and post-therapy scans (PTS) in 18 children with neuroblastoma treated with (131)I-MIBG (2.0-33.1 GBq). The findings of diagnostic sc...
UNLABELLED We compared functional imaging modalities including PET with 6-(18)F-fluorodopamine ((18)F-DA) with (123)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine ((123)I-MIBG) and somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) with (111)In-pentetreotide in nonmetastatic and metastatic pheochromocytoma (PHEO). METHODS We studied 25 men and 28 women (mean age +/- SD, 44.2 +/- 14.2 y) with biochemically proven nonmetasta...
