/sup 67/Ga-citrate scanning in gastrointestinal malignancies

Journal Article · · Clin. Nucl. Med.; (United States)

The value of /sup 67/Ga-citrate scanning in cases of gastrointestinal malignancies is discussed. Seven cases are presented, including lymphomas of the stomach, small bowel, and rectum, and adenocarcinomas of the stomach and colon. In a review of the literature, there is general pessimism regarding the use of /sup 67/Ga scans in GI malignancies. Based on previous reports and our own experience, specific clinical situations are cited in which the scan is of considerable value for diagnosis and followup of GI malignancy.
