Role of Serial 68Ga DOTANOC PET-CT Scans in Follow-up of Metastatic Bronchial Carcinoid: 12 Year Follow-up From a Tertiary Care Institute

Clin Nucl Med. 2019 Jul;44(7):602-603. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000002593.

Abstract

Neuroendocrine tumors are slow-growing indolent tumors and often present with metastatic disease at the outset. We hereby discuss the Ga DOTANOC PET-CT findings of a 48-year-old man who has underwent lobectomy for bronchial carcinoid and developed multiple metastatic disease thereafter with event-free survival for the last 12 years.
