Patients with histologically confirmed PPGL underwent [18F]-SiTATE-PET/CT between 2020 and 2024 and provided plasma and 24-hour urine hormonal measurements within 100 days. Metabolic tumor volume used SUVmean=5.0, with total lesion uptake derived as SUVmean×MTV. Moderate correlations were observed between TLU/MTV and urinary dopamine, norepinephrine, serum chromogranin-A, and plasma normetanephrine and 3-methoxytyramine.","| 138 |\n| --- |\n| Correlation of biochemical secretion and imaging parameters on [18F] -SiTATE-PET/CT in pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma\u003Cbr>Meike Onkes1, Paul Dahlmann1, Christine Schmid-Tannwald2,\u003Cbr>Junia Schweizer3, Isabel St¨ufchen3, Lena Unterrainer1, Matthias Brendel1, Matthias Kroiss3, Martin Bidlingmaier3 & Friederike V¨olter3\u003Cbr>1Department of Nuclear Medicine, LMU Klinik Munich; 2Department of Radiology, LMU Klinik Munich; 3Department of Endocrinology, LMU Klinik Munich\u003Cbr>Introduction\u003Cbr>Somatostatin receptor (SSTR)-targeted PET/CT is widely used for diagnosing and monitoring pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGLs) . This study aims to evaluate the potential of the novel SSTR-targeted tracer [18F]-SiTATE in diagnosing PPGLs by comparing imaging parameters with tumor marker levels and secretory activity in a small cohort of patients diagnosed with PPGL. Methods\u003Cbr>All patients with histologically confirmed PPGL who presented for [18F] -SiTATE-PET/CT at LMU Klinikum between October 2020 and February 2024, along with hormonal laboratory analysis of both plasma and 24-hour urine samples within up to 100 days, were included. Metabolic tumor volume (MTV) was assessed using a threshold of mean standard uptake value (SUVmean) of 5.0 . Total lesion uptake (TLU) was assessed as SUVmean ! MTV. Correlation was tested using Spearman’s rank correlation test.\u003Cbr>Results\u003Cbr>Thirty-four out of 39 patients (median age: 55, range: 5-83) were included in this study, with 5 patients with cervical PGL excluded. Twenty-one patients had metastatic disease. There was a moderate correlation between TLU and MTV and urinary dopamine (r Z 0.50-0.51, P ! 0.05) as well as norepinephrine (r Z 0.50- 0.54, P ! 0.05) . TLU and MTV also moderately correlated with serum chromogranin-A levels (r Z 0.60, P ! 0.01) . Additionally, a moderate correlation was found between TLU and MTV with plasma normetanephrine and 3-methoxytyramine (r Z 0.52-0.56, P ! 0.01) .\u003Cbr>Conclusion\u003Cbr>MTV and TLU measured with [18F]-SiTATE-PET/CT correlate well with serum chromogranin-A and specific catecholamine pathway biomarkers in urine and plasma, reflecting metabolic tumor activity. Despite the limitations of the relatively small cohort, our results suggest that TLU in [18F]-SiTATE-PET/CT could be used as an imaging biomarker for monitoring disease progression and secretory activity in patients with PPGL.\u003Cbr>DOI: 10.1530/endoabs.102.138 |\n| 80 |\n\n\n| 4 |\n| --- |\n| Androgen secreting adrenocortical carcinoma\u003Cbr>Tamara Dojcinovic1,2, Jelena Malinovic Pancic1,2 & Aleksandra Markovic1,2\u003Cbr>1Department of Endocrinology, University Clinical Centre of the Republic of Srpska, Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina; 2School of Medicine, University of Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina\u003Cbr>Introduction\u003Cbr>Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy with estimated annual incidence of 0,7 to 2 cases per milion, and it is more commonly diagnosed in women.

In laboratory results we found increased values of DHEAS of 1073..1326,2 mg/dl and testosteron: 2,09 ng/ml, while ACTH, daily cortisol, renin, aldosteron and 24h urinary catecholamine values were in refferent range.
