Abstract
AIM
Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are rare neuroendocrine tumours of chromaffin cells. Several modalities are currently available to treat patients with PPGL. These treatment modalities include surgery, chemotherapy, molecular targeted therapy and radiopharmaceuticals.
METHODS
I-131 metaiodobenzylguanidine (mIBG), a classic radiopharmaceutical, can be taken up through specific receptors and sited into many, but not all, PPGL cells.
RESULTS
Many studies have investigated the efficacy and toxicity of I-131 mIBG therapy. These studies reported significant results in terms of objective, hormonal and symptomatic responses as well as tolerable toxicities in patients.
CONCLUSION
This article reviews the reported experiences of patients who underwent I-131 mIBG therapy for PPGL with a focus on functions and deficiencies of the therapy.
期刊介绍:
Als Standes- und Fachorgan (Organ von Deutscher Gesellschaft für Nuklearmedizin (DGN), Österreichischer Gesellschaft für Nuklearmedizin und Molekulare Bildgebung (ÖGN), Schweizerischer Gesellschaft für Nuklearmedizin (SGNM, SSNM)) von hohem wissenschaftlichen Anspruch befasst sich die CME-zertifizierte Nuklearmedizin/ NuclearMedicine mit Diagnostik und Therapie in der Nuklearmedizin und dem Strahlenschutz: Originalien, Übersichtsarbeiten, Referate und Kongressberichte stellen aktuelle Themen der Diagnose und Therapie dar.
Ausführliche Berichte aus den DGN-Arbeitskreisen, Nachrichten aus Forschung und Industrie sowie Beschreibungen innovativer technischer Geräte, Einrichtungen und Systeme runden das Konzept ab.
Die Abstracts der Jahrestagungen dreier europäischer Fachgesellschaften sind Bestandteil der Kongressausgaben.
Nuklearmedizin erscheint regelmäßig mit sechs Ausgaben pro Jahr und richtet sich vor allem an Nuklearmediziner, Radiologen, Strahlentherapeuten, Medizinphysiker und Radiopharmazeuten.
