Abstract:We report a case of a locally invasive recurrent atypical meningioma in the temporal region with late onset of meningioma lung metastasis. The patient was diagnosed in early adolescence with an atypical meningioma believed to be radiotherapy induced following treatment of a benign pilocytic astrocytoma in the hypothalamus region at 6 years of age. Even though the patient underwent several surgical and radiotherapy treatments, the intracranial meningioma kept growing and was locally invasive. The patient receiv… Show more
“…A huge volume of data reports that the synergy between diagnostic tracers in nuclear medicine and their therapeutic counterpart is enlarging the application of theranostic in prostate cancer cases with radiolabeled Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) [ 4 ] and neuroendocrine tumors with 68 Ga/ 177 Lu-labeled somatostatin analogs [ 5 ]. Moreover, upcoming studies are evaluating the role of 177 Lu in the treatment of severe meningiomatosis [ 6 ].…”
The first studies on human applications of radioisotopes for the in vivo targeting of pathophysiological processes began in the late 1930s in Western Europe and the USA with 99mTc [...]
