Pilot Study of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT and 123I-MIBG Scintigraphy Imaging of Neuroblastoma
Neuroblastoma is the most frequent extracranial childhood tumor, with an annual incidence of approximately 10.2 per million children. Staging of the disease can be done by different imaging strategies (CT, MRI, scintigraphy and PET/CT). Discrepancies may be observed among these different strategies resulting in different treatment strategies. The goal of this study is to assess the feasibility and safety of 68Ga-DOTATATE and to compare it to 123I-MIBG when investigating neuroblastoma.
• Newly suspected or biopsy-proven neuroblastoma or recurrence of neuroblastoma
• Planned 123I-MIBG imaging
• Able and willing to provide signed informed consent in French or English (for the adult candidates or the parent/legal tutor of the pediatric candidates)
• Aged between 1 day and 21 years old (inclusively).
