High grade neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are characterized by destructive and aggressive growth, followed by rapid spread. For this purpose, SPECT/CT with <sup>99m</sup>Tc-Tektrotyd is very useful for imaging and staging of NETs. Case Report: A 50-year-old man with a huge metastatic liver from an unknown neuroendocrine tumor (NET). SPECT/CT with <sup>99m</sup>Tc-Tektrotyd was performed in this patient, it showed a huge metastatic hepatomegaly compressing neighboring organs with bone metastases, and also revealed the primary colon tumor. Discussion and Conclusion: In recent decades, the incidence and prevalence of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), especially those of the colorectal segments, have been increasing. <sup>99m</sup>Tc-EDDA/HYNIC-TOC (Tektrotyd<sup>?</sup>) was introduced into the market and its use has been approved for scintigraphic imaging of patients with NETs and other SSTR-positive tumors. It provides in vivo metabolic data related to the over-expression of Somatostatin Receptors (SSTRs) and also predicts response to peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT).展开更多

Among all the patients, 14 cases were treated by primary resection with anastomosis. Anastomotic leakage occurred in 6 cases, and 5 of them were died. Of 25 cases with the traditional staged management, the tumors were resected only in 20 cases, and not resectable in the other 5 patients. 19 with modified Hartmann's procedure and 26 with extended right hemlcolectomy with ileorectal or low ileosigmoid anastomosis gave satisfactory results. In terms of this series, the five-year survival rate in primary resection group was significantly higher than that in staged resection group (P< 0. 05). It is suggested that extented right hemlcolectomy or modified Hartmann' s procedure in cases of acute cancerous obstruction of the left colon would be favord.展开更多

The key point for improving the survival rate is the diagnosis and treatment at an early stage. The purpose of this study was to compare the difference of the Fuji Intelligent Chromo Endoscopy (FICE) and staining technique for the diagnosis of colon tumors and non-tumor lesions. Methods From March to November 2007, 654 patients were examined with ordinary colonoscopy. Among them 223 patients with colon neoplasm or polypoid lesion were included. The patients were examined with a magnifying ordinary colonoscopy, a magnifying FICE technique and magnifying staining technique. The pit pattern and blood capillary form of the lesion were examined, an endoscopic diagnosis was made and it was compared with the pathologic diagnosis.Results Four hundred and fifty-one neoplasms were detected in the 223 patients, among those 91.1% (411/451) were detected with the magnifying ordinary endoscopy while 99.1% (447/451) were detected with the FICE technique; there was a significant difference between the two methods. FICE could clearly show the structure and form of mucosal blood capillaries (P 〈0.01) but there was no significant difference between the two methods for showing the pit pattern. The coincident rate of FICE for the diagnosis of tumor and non-tumor lesions was 91.6% (413/451), that of the magnifying staining technique was 82.0% (370/451) (P〈0.05). Conclusions Magnifying FICE could show the mucosal microstructure and blood capillary form and it had a superiority of high coincident rate, high sensitivity and specificity when compared with ordinary magnifying colonoscopy and magnifying staining endoscopy. In addition, it was easy to operate and a biopsy could be taken from the target, so it has a satisfactory clinical practical value.展开更多
