Diagnostic and Therapeutic Nuclear Medicine for Neuroendocrine Tumors (Contemporary Endocrinology)

Synopsis

Based On The Most Novel Approaches And Cutting-edge Clinical And Scientific Information Regarding Radionuclide Imaging And Therapies For Neuroendocrine Tumors, This Clinical Guidebook Represents A Unique Collaborative Effort Between Endocrinologists, Nuclear Physicians, Oncologists, Surgeons, Physicists, Radio-pharmacists And Geneticists. It Begins With The Embryology, Classification And Molecular Genetics Of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors And Carcinoids, Chromaffin Cell Tumors, And Men1- And Men2-related Tumors. Following A Chapter On Radiopharmaceuticals In Neuroendocrine Imaging, It Turns To The Physics And Technology Of Current And Cutting-edge Radiology, Including Spect/ct And Pet/ct And Pet/mr. Discussing Of Radionuclide Imaging Covers The Tumors Mentioned Above, As Well As Pulmonary And Thymic Neuroendocrine Tumors And Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma. A Presentation Of Radionuclide Therapies Follows, Including 131i-mibg Therapy, Somatostatin Receptor-based Therapy, And Alpha Radionuclide Therapy, As Well As The Role Of Nanoparticles. Comprehensive And Up-to-date, Diagnostic And Therapeutic Nuclear Medicine For Neuroendocrine Tumors Will Assist And Guide Physicians Who Encounter Patients With These Conditions, Either From A Diagnostic Or Therapeutic Standpoint, And Particularly Emphasizes The Current And Emerging Medical Devices And Imaging And Therapeutic Options.
