Background: Previous studies of the intraoperative use of a hand-held gamma probe to
localize metastases and primary tumors have shown improved assessment of tumor spread …

Radioguided surgery using 68-gallium labelled somatostatin analogues is a promising
method for detection of small, intra-abdominal, neuroendocrine neoplasm (NEN). However …

The majority of Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) express somatostatin (SS) receptors, and thus
can be successfully targeted with radiolabeled SS analogs in vivo. Somatostatin receptor …

Radioguided surgery (RGS) is a surgical technique that, using intra-operative probes,
enables the surgeon to identify tissues preoperatively “marked” by a radiopharmaceutical …

Purpose Radio-guided surgery (RGS) is an intra-operative localising technique which
enables identification of tissue “marked” by a specific radiotracer injected before surgery. It is …

Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) may be fatal, though at a significantly slower pace than
their exocrine counterparts. Nuclear medicine procedures for diagnosis and treatment of …

Previous studies of the intraoperative use of a hand-held gamma probe to localize
metastases and primary tumors of colorectal cancer have shown improved assessment of …

Background Surgery is the only definitive therapy for gastro-entero-pancreatic
neuroendocrine tumors (GEPNETs), and achieving complete tumor resection is an important …

Background Radio-guided surgery (RGS) holds promise for improving surgical outcomes in
neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Previous studies showed low specificity (SP) using γ-probes …

Background: In neuroendocrine tumor (NET), complete surgery could better the prognosis.
Radioguided surgery (RGS) with β−-radioisotopes is a novel approach focused on …
