Introduction: Positron emission tomography (PET) using 6-[F-18]fluoro-L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (18F-DOPA) has an excellent sensitivity to detect carcinoid tumor lesions. 18F-DOPA-tumor uptake and the levels of biochemical tumor markers are mediated by tumor endocrine metabolic activity. Therefore we evaluated whether total 18F-DOPA-tumor uptake on PET, defined as the whole-body metabolic burden (WBMTB) reflects tumor load per pat...

Objective: To assess the influence of use of long-acting somatostatin analogs on long-term health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) in relation to disease control in patients surgically-treated for acromegaly.Design: Cross-sectional study in two University Medical Centers in The Netherlands.Patients: One hundred and eight patients (47 m/61 f, mean age 54±11 years) with a minimal follow up period of 1 year after pituitary surger...
