New scan may improve detection of childhood nerve tumors
Diagnosis OngoingThis study involves 20 children and young adults with neuroendocrine tumors (like neuroblastoma) that have spread. Researchers are testing whether a special PET/CT scan using a radioactive tracer called 68Ga-DOTATATE can find tumors better than the standard MIBG scan. The goal is…
