Prominent F-FDG Uptake in the Adrenal Gland after Contralateral Adrenalectomy in a Known Case of Adrenocortical Oncocytic Carcinoma.

Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare type of cancer that is associated with a high rate of recurrence and poor prognosis. The main diagnostic approaches to adrenocortical cancer include CT scan, MRI and the promising role of F-FDG PET/CT. The main therapeutic approaches include radical surgery of local disease and recurrences, as well as adjuvant mitotane therapy.

Challenging Results on FDG PET/CT in a Patient with Uncontrolled Celiac Disease and small bowel adenocarcinoma.

Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic immune-mediated enteropathy that is caused by both environmental (gluten) and genetic (human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and non-HLA genes) factors. Patients may be asymptomatic or exhibit atypical symptoms, necessitating a high index of suspicion for proper diagnosis. The evaluation of CD patients with F-FDG PET/CT imaging can be difficult, owing to the fact that this disease is inflammatory in nature.

Current Status of Theranostics in Jordan.

Exploring the unknown is one of the key factors that lead to great discoveries in mankind history. With the advances in medicine and the development of new approaches towards patient care, like next-generation sequencing and patient-centered care, the need for treatments tailored to patient through personalized medicine has become more compelling. Theranostics has been introduced as a combination of a diagnostic tool and a therapeutic tool on the same vector for a specific disease, to facilitate personalized medicine.
