Background: Subspecialty tumor boards (TB) are uncommon and their benefit has not been clearly demonstrated for patients and providers alike. We tried to determine the decision patterns of a newly minted neuroendocrine neoplasm (NEN) tumor board (TB) and the factors behind those.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all NEN TB recommendations from 07/2018 to 12/2021 and recorded patient characteristics, TB outcomes and associations between them.<p cla...

Ga-68 labelled urea-based inhibitors of the prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA), such as 68Ga-HBED-PSMA-11, are promising peptides for targeting prostate cancer. The tris(hydroxypyridinone) (THP) ligand rapidly complexes 68Ga3+ at room temperature, at very low concentration and over a wide pH range, making it possible for the direct elution from a 68Ge/68Ga generator into a cold radiopharmaceutical kit in one step wi...
