The Additional Value of Somatostatin Receptor Scintigraphy During Preoperative Staging in Patients with Non-Functioning Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors.

#1048

Introduction: During diagnostic workup for non-functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-pNET) both computed tomography scan (CT-scan) and somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) are made.

Aim(s): Aim: to determine the additional value of the SRS in pre-operative diagnostic workup as second test after CT-scan.

Materials and methods: All SRSs from January 2002-July 2013 made in the Academic Medical Center of Amsterdam, the Netherlands were selected. Patients with NF-pNET were included if both CT-scan/SRS were made during pre-operative workup. Diagnostic accuracy of the CT-scan and SRS was analysed as well as the percentage of changed TNM classification after SRS.
