First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This 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 to see if this new scan helps doctors plan more precise radiation treatment.
