Brief Title: 68Ga-DOTATATE PET Scan in Neuroendocrine Cancer
Official Title: Use of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET Scanning for Diagnosis and Treatment of Metastatic Neuroendocrine Tumors
Study ID: NCT01396382
Brief Summary: Neuroendocrine cancer is an unusual disease and often goes undetected by routine imaging. The 68Ga-DOTATATE PET scan is a new generation of scans that might have improved sensitivity and resolution specifically for neuroendocrine tumors. The investigators will scan people with this cancer and compare it to other conventional imaging methods to see if it improves patient care.
Detailed Description: Eligible participants will undergo baseline assessments at enrollment. Study participants will receive a one-time administration of 68GaDOTATATE and undergo a PET/CT imaging study. Scans will be performed with "negative" oral contrast (e.g. Volumen™ or equivalent), as many NETs involve the GI tract.
