The Role of Ga68-DOTATOC-PET-CT in Routine Screening of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1
#1306
Introduction: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 is a tumor syndrome characterized by NENs of the pancreas, duodenum, parathyroid, pituitary, adrenal, thymus and bronchi. Gene carriers are recommended participation in prospective screening programs at expert centers. Ga68-DOTATOC-PET-CT is an increasingly used very sensitive imaging technique for GEP-NENs.
Aim(s): Aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of Ga68-DOTATOC-PET-CT in routine screening of MEN1.
Materials and methods: In addition to established imaging techniques (CT thorax, MRI abdomen and brain, endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), ultrasound of the neck) Ga68-DOTATOC-PET-CT was performed in all MEN1 patients undergoing regular screening in our hospital between January 2014 and September 2015. Findings were documented in a prospective database.
