Changes in biodistribution on 68Ga-DOTA-Octreotate PET/CT after long acting somatostatin analogue therapy in neuroendocrine tumour patients may result in pseudoprogression

Abstract Background To evaluate the effects of long-acting somatostatin analogue (SSA) therapy on 68Ga-DOTA-octreotate (GaTate) uptake at physiological and metastatic sites in neuroendocrine tumour (NET) patients. Methods Twenty-one patients who underwent GaTate PET/CT before and after commencement...
