Beta- Probe and Surgery in GEP NET: Evaluation of a New Probe

Description:

Radioguided surgery (RGS) with beta- radioisotopes is a novel approach focused on developing a new probe which, detecting electrons and operating with low background, provides a clearer delineation of the margins of lesions with low radiation exposition for surgeons. To validate this procedure, ex vivo specimens of tumours expressing somatostatin receptors, as small-intestine neuroendocrine (SI-NET), will be tested
