DOTATOC PET/CT accurately identifies tumor types

Do you want to know how you can be screened for certain types of tumors? Then DOTATOC PET/CT is the perfect choice for you!

This procedure is used to detect the spread of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) in the body. These tumors can appear in various organs of the body, but most often they are found in the gastrointestinal tract or lungs (carcinoids). The method is used to detect certain types of tumors of the adrenal glands and nervous system (pheochromocytomas, paragangliomas), as well as the thyroid gland (thyroid cancer). In addition, this procedure shows high effectiveness in examining tumors of the meninges (meningiomas).

Who can benefit from the screening?

This procedure may be used to determine the extent of neuroendocrine tumors before or after surgery. It can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of drug therapy (eg, biotherapy), and to exclude or detect relapses after initial therapy. Another common question is determining whether a given tumor can be treated with peptide receptor radiotherapy (PRRT) with Lu-177-DOTATATE. However, not all patients with neuroendocrine tumors require DOTATOC PET/CT examination.

Patients with meningiomas may also benefit from this method. It can be used before or after surgery or radiation therapy to assess the spread of the tumor and detect other meningiomas that may not be visible with normal examination methods. It can also distinguish residual tumor from post-surgical scars.

With DOTATOC PET/CT, you can obtain the most accurate and detailed information about your health condition and make an informed decision on treatment.

The procedure is painless and does not require special preparation, except for the need to provide test results for TSH and creatinine levels. You will receive a minimal dose of radiation, and the procedure takes no more than 2-3 hours.

What is the difference between DOTATOC PET/CT and PET/CT?

DOTATOC PET/CT and PET/CT are two different diagnostic methods that have similarities and differences.

PET/CT (positron emission tomography/computed tomography) is a technique that combines two types of imaging: PET, which uses radioactive markers, and CT, which uses X-rays. In this imaging technique, PET scan shows the metabolic activity of tissues, while CT scan provides detailed images of the anatomical structures of the body.

DOTATOC PET/CT is a type of PET/CT that uses a special radioactive drug called DOTATOC to image certain types of tumors, particularly neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). This drug contains molecules that bind to specific proteins on the surface of tumor cells, allowing them to be pinpointed to their location and size.

Thus, DOTATOC PET/CT is a more specialized and accurate diagnostic method than conventional PET/CT and can be used to identify certain types of tumors that may be missed by other diagnostic methods.
