Responses to systemic therapy in metastatic pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma - A retrospective multi-center cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrate in a real-life clinical setting that all current therapies show reasonable efficacy in preventing disease progression, and this is equally true for patients with germline SDHB mutations.PMID:37949483 | DOI:10.1093/ejendo/lvad146 (Source: European Journal of Endocrinology)

The inferior performance of [ < sup > 68 < /sup > Ga]Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT as a diagnostic and theranostic biomarker in [ < sup > 177 < /sup > Lu]Lu-DOTATATE refractory well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors
CONCLUSION: Our preliminary results demonstrated that [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT mainly failed in well-differentiated NETs refractory to [177Lu]Lu-DOTATATE therapy and had a limited role as an alternative diagnostic or theranostic agent. Further investigations with a larger patient population are required to determine the impact of [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT on NETs.PMID:37947850 | DOI:10.1007/s00259-023-06497-6 (Source: Molecular Medicine)

Resection of a lumbar intradural tumor
CONCLUSION: Early intervention and gross total resection of spinal intradural tumors are associated with optimal patient outcomes. Additional adjuncts, such as ultrasound, are beneficial and can help achieve gross total tumor resection.PMID:37941626 | PMC:PMC10629344 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_770_2023 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)
