Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of ⁶⁸Ga DOTANOC PET/CT imaging in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndromes. Data of 33 patients (age, 33.5 [13.8] years; male 14/female 19) with MEN syndromes (MEN 1, 9; MEN 2A, 19; MEN 2B, 5) who underwent 41 ⁶⁸Ga DOTANOC PET/CT studies were retrospectively analyzed. Twenty PET/CTs were done for staging and 21 for restating. PET/CT images were evaluated in consensus by 2 nuclear medicine physicians, qualitatively and semiquantitatively (SUV(max)). A combination of histopathology, clinical, and biomarker follow-up was taken as reference standard. Of the total 41 ⁶⁸Ga DOTANOC PET/CTs, 34 were interpreted as positive for neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and 7 as negative. The patientwise sensitivity of PET/CT was 94% (95% confidence interval [CI], 80-99), specificity was 71% (95% CI, 29-96), positive predictive value was 94% (95% CI, 80-99), negative predictive value was 71% (95% CI, 29-96), and accuracy was 90%. A total of 74 disease sites were demonstrated on PET/CT, including 41 primary NETs (pancreas, 10; stomach, 2; pheochromocytoma, 10; medullary thyroid carcinoma, 19), 31 metastatic sites (lymph node, 15; liver, 10; bone, 4; lung, 1; breast, 1), and 2 parathyroid...Continue Reading
