    Abstract : Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumor (SI-NET) is the most common small bowel tumor in Europe and USA, with an annual incidence of around 0.3-1.3/100000 persons. READ MORE

  4. 2. Monitoring of neuroendocrine tumor patients undergoing systemic therapies

    Author : Olof Pettersson; Anders Sundin; Håkan Geijer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Therapy monitoring; NET; neuroendocrine tumor; computed tomography; CT; PRRT; 177Lu-DOTATATE; TGR; tumor growth rate; theranostics; DOTATOC-PET CT; Radiology; Radiologi; Endokrinologi och Diabetologi; Endocrinology and Diabetology; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Abstract : Monitoring of neuroendocrine tumor (NET) patients undergoing systemic therapies is troublesome as biomarkers capable of detecting tumor responses have been difficult to establish. Changes in the sum of target lesion diameters are used to evaluate the effects of therapy according to the response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST 1.1). READ MORE

  5. 3. Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors : Surgical Treatment and Follow-up

    Author : Josefine Kjaer; Olov Norlén; Kjetil Soreide; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor; surgery; liver metastases; hepatic resection; liver transplantation; recurrence; Kirurgi; Surgery;

    Abstract : Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (Pan-NET), are rare, heterogenous and derive from the hormone producing cells in the pancreas. The functioning tumors that overproduce hormones cause clinical syndromes with specific symptoms due to the hormonal production. READ MORE

  6. 4. Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumor Analyses : Somatostatin Analog Effects and MicroRNA Profiling

    Author : Su-Chen Li; Valeria Giandomenico; Kjell Öberg; Marco Volante; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors; Somatostatin analogs; Laser-capture microdissection; Microarray profiling and microRNA profiling; Biology with specialization in Molecular Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs) originate from serotonin-producing enterochromaffin (EC) cells in the intestinal mucosa. Somatostatin analogs (SSAs) are mainly used to control hormonal secretion and tumor growth. However, the molecular mechanisms leading to the control of SI-NETs are unknown. READ MORE

  7. 5. Theranostics in Neuroendocrine Tumors : Somatostatin Receptor Imaging and Therapy

    Author : Ezgi Ilan; Mark Lubberink; Peter Bernhardt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; 177Lu-DOTATATE; 68Ga-DOTATATE; 68Ga-DOTATOC; PRRT; Theranostics; PET CT; SPECT CT; Neuroendocrine tumors; Somatostatin receptors; Medicinsk radiofysik; Medical Radiophysics;

    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
