Background: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (panNETs) are rare tumours (prevalence 4/100,000). Diagnosis and staging of panNETs requires biochemical screening, cross-sectional imaging (with CT/MRI), endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and where available, functional imaging using 68Ga-labelled synthetic octreotide analogues using PET-CT due to its reported higher sensitivity and specificity.Methods: A retrospective, electronic case note study was ca...

The impact of 68Ga-based PET-CT scanning on the management of patients with familial pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (panNETs)

Background: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (panNETs) may arise as part of an underlying genetic condition such as multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN type 1). The value of functional imaging using 68Ga-labelled synthetic octreotide analogues using PET-CT has not been extensively evaluated in patients with MEN1 to determine its value.Methods: We investigated the effect of 68Ga-based PET-CT imaging on patient management in pat...
