Somatostatin Receptor Imaging PET in Neuroendocrine Neoplasm

Publikation: Bidrag til tidsskriftReviewForskningfagfællebedømt

PET/computed tomography (CT) imaging increasingly is used in neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) for diagnosis, staging, monitoring, prognostication, and choosing treatment. Somatostatin PET analog tracers have added to the specificity by obtaining higher affinity to somatostatin receptors with 68Ga-labeled or 64Cu-labeled DOTA peptides compared with single-photon emission CT imaging isotopes. PET uptake correlates to tumor grade and is an essential part of theranostics with peptide receptor radionuclide treatment. This article focuses on the literature on head-to-head studies and meta-analyses of different combinations of peptide agonists and a few antagonists. Overall, the published data support the diagnostic capability of PET/CT imaging in NENs.
