Gallium-68 DOTATOC PET/CT <i>In Vivo</i> Characterization of Somatostatin Receptor Expression in the Prostate

Abstract

(68)Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT defines the baseline sstr uptake in prostate not affected by NET (significantly lower than in the liver). Higher values were established in prostatic hyperplasia and hypertrophy. Only concomitant prostate cancer was associated with higher SUVmax in comparison with non-neoplastic liver.
