Neuroendocrine cells are part of the endocrine system
◦ a network of glands in the body that produce hormones and send them into the bloodstream to affect the function of different organs in the body.
Neuroendocrine tumors are rare, and often cause excess hormone production.
Metastases can grow large because they frequently grow slowly.
Tumors occur most commonly in the digestive system but can occur in other parts of the body.
They can be either:◦ Non-Cancerous (benign) or ◦ Cancerous (malignant).◦ Functioning produce hormones◦ Non-Functioning not produce hormones

Neuroendocrine tumors over-express somatostatin
receptors in their membranes.
Octreotide is an analogue whose molecule is a shortened
version of somatostatin's with a high affinity for these
receptors.
The radiolabeled form of octreotide is able to be imaged in
scans (OctreoScan) and, therefore, pathological conditions
overexpressing somatostatin receptors are easily
recognized in this technique.
Specifically, in the case of the detection of carcinoid
tumors, OctreoScan has sensitivity nearly to 90 percent.

A receptor is a protein molecule, embedded in either the plasma membrane or cytoplasm of a cell, to which a mobile signaling (or "signal") molecule may attach.
A molecule which binds to a receptor is called a "ligand," and may be a peptide (such as a neurotransmitter), a hormone, a pharmaceutical drug, or a toxin.
When such binding occurs, the receptor goes into a conformational change which ordinarily initiates a cellular response.

Many hormone and neurotransmitter receptors are transmembrane proteins:
transmembrane receptors are embedded in the phospholipid bilayer of cell membranes,
these allow the activation of signal transduction pathways in response to the activation by the binding molecule, or ligand.

Most carcinoid tumors (carcinoid), are found in the appendix or the small intestine.
Less commonly, they may arise in the lung or the pancreas.
Rarely, they may arise in other parts of the body. Carcinoid tumors often grow slowly and it
may be several years before any symptoms appear and the tumor is diagnosed.
Men and women are affected equally. Usually found in adults over the age of 30. The exact cause is unknown.

Overproduction of serotonin and other hormones produce carcinoid syndrome.
Symptoms include diarrhea flushing of the skin wheezing (similar to asthma) loss of appetite weight loss

Urine test A 24-hour urine collection is used to check whether there are raised levels of serotonin.

Whole body imaging - requires expression of somatostatin receptors◦ Localizes tumors and metastases◦ Staging the spread of malignancy
Therapy - requires expression of somatostatin receptors◦ Determines potential for Octreotide and/or
nuclear therapy ◦ Five subsets of somatostatin receptors ◦ Some tumors do not express somatostatin
receptors

metaiodobenzylguanidine or mIBG, is a radiopharmaceutical.
It is a radiolabeled molecule similar to norepinephrine.
Norepinephrine or noradrenaline is a catecholamine with dual roles as a hormone and a neurotransmitter.
Catecholamines are "fight-or-flight" hormones that are released by the adrenal glands in response to stress. They are part of the sympathetic nervous system.

Dose: 3.3 – 4.1 GBq (89.0 – 110.8 mCi) 131I-MIBG
10 ml is mixed with 90 ml of 5% glucose infusion and the total volume of 100 ml is administered slowly (2-4 hours )
Images are usually taken at 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours post administration.

Named after cells where they develop: Insulinomas
◦ occur in any part of the pancreas – sugar levels Gastrinomas
◦ often start in the pancreas or the upper part of the small bowel (duodenum).
◦ produce too much of the hormone gastrin -too much gastric acid is produced
Glucagonomas◦ occur most often in the pancreas ◦ too much of the hormone glucagon - sugar levels
VIPomas◦ usually occur in the pancreas ◦ too much of a substance called vasoactive intestinal peptide.
Somatostatinomas.◦ rare◦ occur in the pancreas, duodenum or jejunum (parts of the small
intestine).
