#2987 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT as Tool for Diagnosis and Decision-Making Process of Neuroendocrine Tumors

Introduction: Primary tumors in some patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumors (NET) cannot be found by conventional imaging as CT, MRI and scintigraphy. 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT (68Ga-PET) appears to have superior sensitivity, specifity, and better resolution than 99mTC-octreotide SPECT/TC (SSTR scintigraphy) and can improve decision-making process, however its cost is higher, and its availability is limited.

#2237 99mTc-Colloid Scintigraphy in the Differential Diagnosis of Pancreatic NET

Introduction: An accessory spleen (AS), a benign and congenital condition, is characterized by a small nodule of splenic tissue found outside of the spleen, which can mimic a pancreatic neoplasm (p-NET). 68Ga-PET/CT is used to study lesions suspected for NET, but the radioactive tracer binds also the reticuloendothelial cells, resulting in false positives in case of AS.

#1705 Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) Uptake in a Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor (pNET) Bearing Patient

Introduction: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a transmembrane protein overexpressed on both prostate epithelial malignant cells and endothelial cells of tumor-associated neovasculature of many solid cancers. PSMA has been investigated already as a target in staging and detection of prostate cancer
