The authors report their experience on the use of 111In-DTPA-octreotide scintigraphy in the diagnosis of neuroendocrine carcinomas of the lung. The studies were performed both preoperatively, to obtain a correct staging of the tumor, or postoperatively, because of the suspicion of a recurrence or distant metastases. The main findings were: high sensitivity in localizing the tumor and its recurrences or metastases and high predictive value for responsiveness to 'cold' octreotide therapy.

Abstract
The authors report their experience on the use of 111In-DTPA-octreotide scintigraphy in the diagnosis of neuroendocrine carcinomas of the lung. The studies were performed both preoperatively, to obtain a correct staging of the tumor, or postoperatively, because of the suspicion of a recurrence or distant metastases. The main findings were: high sensitivity in localizing the tumor and its recurrences or metastases and high predictive value for responsiveness to 'cold' octreotide therapy.
