The role of ¹⁸F‐FDOPA and ¹⁸F‐FDG–PET in the management of malignant and multifocal phaeochromocytomas

Abstract

Our results suggest that tumour staging can be improved by combining (18)F-FDOPA and (18)F-FDG in the preoperative work-up of patients with abdominal and malignant PHEOs. (18)F-FDOPA is also an effective localization tool for neck PGLs. MIBG however, still has a role in these patients as MIBG and FDOPA images did not completely overlap.
