1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Neuroendocrine cancer patientsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
All neuroendocrine cancer patients referred by their physician and fulfilling the eligibility criteria across Canada can be recruited to the primary site of the study. Patients will be injected intravenously with 3 MBq/kg (maximum 370 MBq) of 68Ga-DOTA-TATE. 45-90 minutes following injection, patients will be imaged in a PET/CT scanner. Images will be analyzed by a trained nuclear medicine physician. Safety profile, eventual adverse effects, false positives, false negatives and any abnormal biodistribution of the radiotracer will be monitored and analysed.
