Molecular Imaging in Neuroendocrine Differentiation of Prostate Cancer: 68Ga-PSMA Versus 68Ga-DOTA NOC PET-CT.

We report on a 62-year-old man with metastatic prostate cancer (cT3b N1) diagnosed in 2011, treated with total androgen blockage with flutamide and goserelin acetate (Zoladex). He presented with left suprascapular swelling and low-back pain after being asymptomatic for 5 years. His prostate-specific antigen was 0.

The clinical utility of combining pre-operative axillary ultrasonography and fine needle aspiration cytology with radionuclide guided sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer patients with palpable axillary lymph nodes.

Purpose: Clinically palpable lymph nodes (CPLN) are usually considered a contraindication to sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) but one third of these patients are node negative. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the clinical usefulness of combining SLNB and preoperative axillary ultrasonography (AUS) with FNAC in patients with clinically palpable but indeterminate axillary lymph nodes.

Materials And Methods: Fifty three patients with primary breast cancer and CPLN (mean age, 51.

Selective approach to radionuclide-guided sentinel lymph node biopsy in high-risk ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast.

Purpose: Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) currently represents approximately 15-25% of all breast cancers detected. Although inherently a noninvasive disease, occult invasive disease can be found at definitive histology. The role of sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy in DCIS is still unclear.

Evaluation of the gamma probe guided sentinel lymph node biopsy and the blue dye technique in the management of breast cancer.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of lymphoscintigraphy, gamma probe guided sentinel lymph node biopsy (GP-SLNB) in the management of breast cancer and study the follow-up results. Fifty two patients (mean age 47.28+/-9.

Minimally invasive radionuclide-guided parathyroidectomy using 99mTc-sestamibi in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism: a single-institution experience.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and usefulness of (99m)Tc-sestamibi scintigraphy and gamma probe localization of parathyroid glands in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and establish radio-guided minimally invasive parathyroidectomy at Hussain Makki Al Jumma Center for Specialized Surgery, Kuwait.

Subjects And Methods: Twelve patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (mean age: 48 +/- 14 years; median age: 46 years; age range: 29-68 years) were evaluated. The diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism was established by elevated serum calcium and parathyroid hormone levels.

Fine needle aspiration cytology of Hodgkin's lymphoma: A cytohistologic correlation study from a cancer center in Kuwait.

Objective: To assess the diagnostic accuracy offine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in the diagnosis of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL).

Study Design: We selected all the cases in which a cytologic diagnosis of HL, suggestive of or suspicious for HL, or HL as the prime differential diagnosis was offered on FNAC. These cases were correlated with histopathologic follow-up.
