Detection and localization of prostate cancer: correlation of (11)C-choline PET/CT with histopathologic step-section analysis.
Mohsen Farsad,Riccardo Schiavina,Paolo Castellucci,Cristina Nanni,Barbara Corti,Giuseppe Martorana,Romeo Canini,Walter F. Grigioni,Stefano Boschi,Mario Marengo,Cinzia Pettinato,Eugenio Salizzoni,Nino Monetti,Roberto Franchi,Stefano Fanti +14 more
TL;DR: The data do not support the routine use of PET/CT with (11)C-choline as a first-line screening procedure for prostate cancer in men at high risk, and it is found that prostatic disorders other than cancer may accumulate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison between 68Ga-DOTA-NOC and 18F-DOPA PET for the detection of gastro-entero-pancreatic and lung neuro-endocrine tumours
Valentina Ambrosini,Paola Tomassetti,Paolo Castellucci,Davide Campana,Giancarlo Montini,Domenico Rubello,Cristina Nanni,Anna Rizzello,Roberto Franchi,Stefano Fanti +9 more
TL;DR: The data show that 68Ga-DOTA-NOC is accurate for the detection of gastro-entero-pancreatic and lung neuro-endocrine tumours in either the primary or metastatic site and that it offers several advantages over 18F-DOPA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Standardized Uptake Values of 68Ga-DOTANOC PET: A Promising Prognostic Tool in Neuroendocrine Tumors
Davide Campana,Valentina Ambrosini,Raffaele Pezzilli,Stefano Fanti,Antonio Maria Morselli Labate,Donatella Santini,Claudio Ceccarelli,Francesca Nori,Roberto Franchi,Roberto Corinaldesi,Paola Tomassetti +10 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated, for the first time to the knowledge, that 68Ga-DOTANOC PET SUVmax correlates with the clinical and pathologic features of NETs and is also an accurate prognostic index.
Journal ArticleDOI
(68)Ga-DOTA-NOC PET/CT in comparison with CT for the detection of bone metastasis in patients with neuroendocrine tumours
Valentina Ambrosini,Cristina Nanni,Maurizio Zompatori,Davide Campana,Paola Tomassetti,Paolo Castellucci,Vincenzo Allegri,Domenico Rubello,Giancarlo Montini,Roberto Franchi,Stefano Fanti +10 more
TL;DR: 68Ga DOTA-NOC PET was more accurate than CT for the identification of bone lesions and led to a change in clinical management in nine patients with a negative CT scan.
Journal ArticleDOI
11C-choline vs. 18F-FDG PET/CT in assessing bone involvement in patients with multiple myeloma
Cristina Nanni,Elena Zamagni,Michele Cavo,Domenico Rubello,Paola Tacchetti,Cinzia Pettinato,Mohsen Farsad,Paolo Castellucci,Valentina Ambrosini,Gian Carlo Montini,Adil Al-Nahhas,Roberto Franchi,Stefano Fanti +12 more
TL;DR: Preliminary data suggest that 11C-Choline PET/CT appears to be more sensitive than 18F-FDGPET/CT for the detection of bony myelomatous lesions in patients affected with MM.
