¹¹¹In-Octreotide Scintigraphy for Identification of Metastatic Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma in Children and Adolescents

Abstract

SRS appears to be less sensitive than conventional imaging at detecting the full extent of metastatic disease in children and adolescents with hereditary MTC. SRS incompletely identified sites of tumor and failed to visualize small sites of tumor or liver and lung metastases, and it has a limited role in the evaluation of metastatic disease in pediatric MTC patients.
