Udhayvir Grewal: Excellent paper on the performance of the NETPET score
Udhayvir Grewal, Resident Physician at Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport Academy Medical Centre, shared a post on X:
“Excellent paper on the performance of the NETPET score by Ur Mester, Simron Singh et al.
- 40 patients, WD GEPNETs, prospective study. 68Ga-DOTATATE PET and 18F-FDG PET were performed within 21 d of each other.
- 18F-FDG/68Ga-DOTATATE SUVmax ratios were significantly lower for patients with low (P1-P2) primary NETPET scores than for those with high (P3-P5) primary NETPET scores (mean ± SD, 0.20 ± 0.13 and 1.68 ± 1.44, respectively; P < 0.001).
- They noted change in the type of management in 42.5% of patients after 18F-FDG PET. (Wow!)
Dual PET is important to inform treatment decisions. It also gives you an opportunity to optimally assess the underlying grade, get more tissue for sequencing, etc.
Also can inform therapy sequencing- as highlighted by the investigators in the above study. (Luckily, none of my P2P requests for dual PET have been denied so far but I can see how that could be a big challenge).”
