FDG PET scan vs. 68Ga DOTATATE PET scan for neuroendocrine cancer Posted by trixie1313 @trixie1313 , Feb 27, 2020 I would be curious to see if there are any laymen articles regarding the use of FDG PET scan vs. the Dotatate PET scan.

2017年6月14日 · 68Ga DOTATATE Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is the new golden standard for imaging of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). [68Ga] DOTATATE PET has been used in Europe and Australia for the last 10 years effectively as the first line imaging choice for NETs and replaced Octreoscan years ago.

2023年7月1日 · A Ga Dotatate PET-CT is a good scan for NETs that are metabolically active. If the NET is showing in hormone markers, it will probably show on the scan. Less accurate for NETs that are non-functional.

2023年1月9日 · --Influence of lanreotide on uptake of 68Ga-DOTATATE in patients with neuroendocrine tumours: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30097670/ Is there a specific reason why the PET scan is scheduled so soon after your injection? I'm wondering if you are having new symptoms, etc. that is concerning to either you or your doctor.

2023年3月28日 · You are absolutely right in wanting to find this type of scan. I was sick for eleven years before I had an intestinal blockage in 2018 and they found a neuroendocrine tumor - which had never shown up on multiple CTs. In 2020 I went to Mayo in Phoenix for a consult and the Dotatate scan, which showed lesions scattered throughout my body.

2024年10月14日 · Dotatate PET/CT found multiple lesions in the liver consistent with metastatic lesions. Anyone else had similar findings? Dotatate says metastatic but does not show any lesions but in the liver. Biopsy does not mention metastatic. From my reading 4x3 cm seems large but nothing was seen in scan 2 years ago, so does it grow that fast?

2024年8月20日 · It’s my understanding from talking to my Mayo Clinic oncologist that a PET – CT DOTATATE scan is the gold standard for determining the location and size of neuroendocrine tumors (NETS).

2024年12月4日 · I am seeing Dr Daniel Halperin, a NETS specialist, who was at MD Anderson and is now at Emory in Atlanta. I have had the Dotatate Pet scan. The liver is the only place that lit up. Decided that the likely origin was the GI Track and since the treatment is the same for the liver and GI Track, Dr decided there was no reason to pursue finding the ...

2020年4月24日 · Dotatate scan positive area pancreas and octreo scan showed abdominal and pelvis masses. 1 MRI done after all the lab and positive nuclear scans says nothing there. I am so afraid that with all the positives they are missing something that lab scans say is there.
