6. Aspects on Diagnosis and Treatment of Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumours
Abstract : Aspects on Diagnosis and Treatment of Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumours Background. Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NETs) originate from endocrine cells of the intestinal mucosa and pancreas. READ MORE

7. PET/CT with 18F-FDG and 68Ga-DOTATOC in pulmonary carcinoid imaging
Abstract : Background: PET/CT, positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography, with 18F-FDG (2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose) is well established in oncological imaging. Pulmonary carcinoid tumours may have metabolic activity, making them available for PET/CT imaging with 18F-FDG. READ MORE

8. Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy in Neuroendocrine Neoplasms : Aspects of tumour characteristics, receptor recycling and peptide mass
Abstract : Neuroendocrine neoplasm (NEN) can arise in any part of the body, but most commonly in the lungs, bronchi, and the gastrointestinal tract including the pancreas. They combine neuroendocrine and tissue-of-origin-specific characteristics; explaining different symptoms depending on the organ of origin. READ MORE

9. Nuclear medicine imaging of lung cancer and esophagus cancer
Abstract : Background: Somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) occur in cancer tissue, and 99mTc-depreotide is a labelled somatostatin receptor analogue, binding to SSTRs subtype 2, 3, and 5. Purpose: The general aim of the present thesis was to study somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SSTRS) with 99mTc-depreotide in the diagnosis and characterization of cancers in the lung and oesophagus.

10. Theranostics in Neuroendocrine Tumors : Somatostatin Receptor Imaging and Therapy
Abstract : Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are characterized by cellular overexpression of somatostatin receptors (SSTR), which allows for the use of radiolabeled somatostatin analogs (SSA) for both imaging and therapy. Because NETs often are diagnosed at a metastatic stage, curative surgery is not possible. READ MORE
