[68Ga]Ga-DOTA-Exendin-4 PET/CT for the localisation of insulinoma: Results of an international, dual-centre, retrospective, open-label real-world imaging study
Introduction:
Benign insulinomas are the main cause of endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia (EHH) in adults, with surgery as the only cure. Pancreas-preserving procedures are preferred, making precise localisation crucial. Recent studies indicate that GLP-1R imaging, such as [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-exendin-4 (68Ga-Ex4) PET/CT, outperforms conventional imaging in identifying insulinomas.

Platelet Serotonin But Not Dopamine Concentrations Are Lower in Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor and Renal Cell Carcinoma Patients Compared to Healthy Individuals.
Introduction:
Platelets carry VEGF-A, serotonin and dopamine. Serotonin stimulates and dopamine inhibits tumor angiogenesis. We hypothesized that platelets are activated in tumor vasculature and release angiogenic factors, resulting in lower platelet serotonin and dopamine.
