title: [Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy in medullary thyroid carcinomas, GEP and carcinoid tumors].
abstract: For this study, 24 patients with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) and 10 with carcinoid-/GEP-tumours underwent scintigraphy with 123I-Tyr3-octreotide or 111In-DTPA-D-Phe1-octreotide (Octreoscan) or 99mTc-V-DMSA. Calcitonin and CEA were elevated in MTC patients, the other had tumour lesions on CT. Octreoscan-scintigraphy was positive in 68% of all suspicious cases. On the other hand, 123I-Tyr3-octreotide showed only rarely positive results. 99mTc-V-DMSA-scans in MTC patients were positive in 23%. Liver metastases could be seen only with Octreoscan in the non-MTC-group. These results showed better sensitivity of 111In-labelled octreotide.
