Summary

This early-phase study tested a new radioactive tracer called 68Ga-DOTATOC for PET-CT scans in 20 adults suspected of having neuroendocrine tumors. The goal was to see if this new method could find tumors more accurately than the current standard scan (OctreoScan). Researchers also checked if the tracer was safe and if the production process was reliable.
