  • Title: Ga-67 citrate imaging in tumors of the genito-urinary tract: report of cooperative study.
    Author: Sauerbrunn BJ, Andrews GA, Hübner KF.
    Journal: J Nucl Med; 1978 May; 19(5):470-5. PubMed ID: 205635.
    Abstract:
    Whole-body imaging with Ga-67 citrate in 127 tumors of the genito-urinary tract has been evaluated by a cooperative group using a uniform protocol. Primary sites of tumor were not detectable by imaging, except for one bladder and one kidney tumor. Proven and apparent metastases yielded positive scans, however, in 51% of prostatic, 50% of bladder, 72% of kidney, and 53% of testicular neoplasms. In bladder and kidneys metastases, if bone sites are excluded, detection of soft tissue metastases was 61% and 75%, respectively. In embryonal-cell carcinoma of the testicle, 74% of metastatic foci were detected.
