The Role of Somatostatin Receptor Scintigraphy on the Diagnosis of Desmoid Tumors

Table 1

Patient demographics, summarizing age, sex, type, and location of desmoid tumour, results of SRS (SRS was performed once (SRS 1) and occasionally a second time (SRS 2)) and immunohistochemistry and followup in months. Tracer uptake was described as + (enhanced) and − (nonpathological). SSTR 2A staining was described as 0 (absent), 1 (moderate), and 2 (distinct).
