Results of scintigraphy with m[123I]iodobenzylguanidine on neuroblastoma in children
- 1. Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, 59 - Lille (France)
Description
From 46[123I]mIBG scans performed in 33 children, excellent specificity (96%) and good sensitivity (90%) appeared in the detection of neuroblastoma; less differentiated non catecholamine-excreting tumours remained undetected. As any localization to be seen was clearly visualized on the 24-h scan, the use of the [123I]mIBG (p, 5n) is recommended for the diagnosis, staging and follow-up of neuroblastoma in children.
