The role of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT in the follow-up of patients with medullary thyroid cancer
Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is an aggressive form of thyroid malignancy with local metastasis in 30%-50% of the cases and distant metastasis predominantly to lung, liver and skeleton in 13%-15% of patients. Identification of the lesion using imaging modalities is of crucial importance for disease...

description | Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is an aggressive form of thyroid malignancy with local metastasis in 30%-50% of the cases and distant metastasis predominantly to lung, liver and skeleton in 13%-15% of patients. Identification of the lesion using imaging modalities is of crucial importance for disease management in the recurrent or metastatic MTC. In this study, we aimed to determine the efficacy of fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) and gallium-68 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid tyrosine-3-octreotate (68Ga-DOTATATE) PET/CT imaging in patients with MTC and to evaluate the relationship between imaging findings and serum tumor markers.OBJECTIVEMedullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is an aggressive form of thyroid malignancy with local metastasis in 30%-50% of the cases and distant metastasis predominantly to lung, liver and skeleton in 13%-15% of patients.

Seventy-three patients with MTC, who underwent either 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT (n=61) and/or 18F-FDG PET/CT (n=59) together with serum calcitonin (Ctn) and/or carcinoembryogenic antigen (CEA) measurement within 6 months period were included in the study. Gallium-68-DOTATATE PET/CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT scans performed within 6 months on the same patient (n=38) were analyzed separately for comparison of the efficacy of both modalities.MATERIALS AND METHODSThe records of MTC patients, who were treated and followed-up in our department between the years 2005 and 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.
