About this trial
The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance and tumor burden of 18F-metafluorobenzylguanidine (18F-MFBG) positron emission tomography (PET) in patients with neuroendocrine tumors mainly in pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) and neuroblastoma (NB).

Treatments tested in this trial
18F-MFBG
DrugPatients with neuroendocrine malignancies receive 2-4 MBq/kg of 18F-MFBG intravenously followed by PET/CT after 60min of injection.
68Ga-Dotatate
DrugPatients with malignant PPGL and NB receive intravenously 68Ga-Dotatate followed by PET/CT after 40min of injection.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
The evaluation of diagnostic performance of 18F-MFBG PET in different regions in metastatic neural crest tumor.
Patients with histologically confirmed metastatic neural crest tumor will be prospectively recruited in this study. They will receive 18F-MFBG PETand 123I-MIBG SPECT. Rate of detected lesions (visual) in bone, lymph node and liver will be compared.
Secondary outcomes
Assessment of lesion targeting by 18F-MFBG as compared to 68Ga-DOTATATE
A lesion-by-lesion analysis will be performed to compare the number of detected lesions using 18F-MFBG and 68Ga-DOTATATE.
