Ga-68 SMS-R PET/CT in the Detection of Unknown Primary Neuroendocrine Tumor- Single Centre Result in 124 Patients

#242

Introduction: Ga-68 Somatostatin-Receptor PET/CT (R-PET/CT) has been reported to be superior to In-111 octreoscan in the detection of unknown primary of neuroendocrine tumors (CUP-NET) (EJNMMI 2010 Jan;37(1):67-77)

Aim(s): To confirm the results in a larger group of patients and to look into the possible reasons for the false negative findings of R-PET/CT.

Materials and methods: Overall 124 patients (Female: Male 34:56) having CUP-NET (defined as no evidence of primary on the conventional morphological imaging) were included in this study. In addition MRI, CT-Abdomen, Ultrasound Abdomen and Endosonography and FDG PET/CT was performed wherever needed.
