Background: Pheochromocytoma (PHEO) is a rare neuroendocrine tumor arising from chromaffin cells of adrenal gland that can cause life-threatening complications due to overproduction of catecholamines. Per EANM/SNMMI 2019 guidelines for radionuclide imaging of PHEO and paraganglioma, 18F-fluoro-L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (18F-FDOPA) is recommended as a positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer of choice followed by 68Ga-DOTA(0)-Tyr(3)-octreot...

Background: Pheochromocytoma/Paraganglioma (PPGL) are rare neuroendocrine tumors that expresses somatostatin receptors (SSTR) and can be treated with radiolabeled somatostatin analogues such as Lu-177-DOTATATE. Ga-68-DOTATATE PET scans show the distribution and density of SSTR+ tumors, and F-18-FDG PET scans show hypermetabolism in lesions. Total uptake volumes (TUV) for each respective scan can be obtained consistently and semi-automatically using standardized workflow in ima...

Background: Pheochromocytoma/Paraganglioma (PPGL) are rare neuroendocrine tumors that expresses somatostatin receptors (SSTR) and can be treated with radiolabeled somatostatin analogues such as Lu-177-DOTATATE. This study is the first prospective study to examine the safety and efficacy of Lu-177-DOTATATE in the treatment of metastatic or inoperable PPGL in a phase 2 clinical trial setting, and results from a planned interim analysis are presented.Method...

Background: To evaluate and compare the diagnostic performance of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT to 18F-FDG PET/CT, CT of neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis (CT), and MRI of cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine (MRI spine), for the detection of spinal bone metastases in metastatic pheochromocytoma and/or paraganglioma (PPGL).Methods: Between 2014 and 2019, 41 consecutive metastatic PPGL patients (19 females; mean age, 43 years) underwent 68...
