Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy with <sup>68</sup>Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT: initial experience in Cuba

Main Article Content

Juan P. Oliva González

Abstract

In 1870, Rudolf Heidenhain discovered neuroendocrine cells, which can lead to the development of the Neuroendocrine Tumors (NER), a rare form of cancer, most of which express somatostatin receptors. The basis of Receptor Scintigraphy as a metabolic-molecular image is based on the use of 68Ga-DOTA-peptides with specific binding to somatostatin receptors.The purpose of this publication is to present our first experiences in the study of different histological types of TNE by means of Somatostatin Receptor Scintigraphy (GRS) using 68Ga-DOTATATE performed at the PET / CT Center and Molecular Image of the Department of Nuclear Medicine of the National Institute of Oncology and Radiobiology (Inor).
