This ENETS guidance paper aims to provide practical advice clinicians for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of functioning syndromes in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (NET). A NET-associated syndrome is defined by presence a clinical combined with biochemical evidence inappropriately elevated hormonal levels. Different can be encountered NET patients, including insulinoma, gastrinoma as well rare glucagonoma, VIPoma, ACTHoma, PTHrPoma, carcinoid syndrome, calcitoninoma, GHRHoma...

Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) of patients with somatostatin expressing neuroendocrine neoplasms has shown promising results in clinical trials and a recently published phase III study.In our center, 2294 were screened between 2004 2014 by 68Ga (SSTR) PET/CT. Intention to treat analysis included 1048 patients, who received at least one cycle 90Yttrium or 177Lutetium-based PRRT. Progression free survival was determined SSTR-PET/CT EORTC response criteria.

A key issue in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) is early identification and prediction of disease progression. Clinical evaluation imaging are limited due to the lack sensitivity indolence. We assessed NETest as a predictive prognostic marker progression long-term follow-up study.GEP-NETs (n = 34) followed for median 4 years (2.2-5.4) were evaluated.

Diagnostic imaging plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis, staging, treatment selection and follow-up for neuroendocrine tumors. The available diagnostic strategies are morphologic imaging, including computed tomography, magnetic resonance (MRI) ultrasound techniques, molecular scintigraphy with (111)In-pentetreotide positron emission tomography (68)Ga-DOTA-peptides, (18)F-DOPA (11)C-5-HTP. A combination of anatomic functional techniques is routinely performed to optimize sensitivity...

Radioligand therapy (RLT) using 177Lu labelled inhibitors of the prostate-specific membrane antigen (177Lu-PSMA) is performed in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) after exhaustion other options. German University Clinics offer RLT since 2013 on a compassionate use basis. The present consensus document includes recommendations for 177Lu-PSMA-617.

The complexity of the clinical management neuroendocrine neoplasia (NEN) is exacerbated by limitations in imaging modalities and a paucity clinically useful biomarkers. Limitations currently available reflect difficulties measuring an intrinsically indolent disease, resolution inadequacies inter-/intra-facility device variability that RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria Solid Tumors) criteria are not optimal for NEN. used biomarkers they secretory (chromogranin A, serotonin, neuron-specific...

Abstract The clinical course of neuroblastoma is more heterogeneous than any other malignant disease. Most low-risk patients experience regression after limited or even no chemotherapy. However, half high-risk die from disease despite intensive multimodal treatment. Precise patient characterization at diagnosis key for risk-adapted guidelines presented here incorporate results national and international trials to produce recommendations diagnosing treating in German hospitals outside trials.

The cells share many morphologic, immunohistochemical, ultrastructural features cutaneous cells. Nevertheless, the of origin MCC unclear. appears clinically as reddish to purple spherical smooth, shiny surface soft turgid, elastic consistency, usually showing rapid growth. Spontaneous often complete regressions are observed. These likely...
