    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Oncology
    • Nuclear Medicine
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Malignant diseases in children require accurate diagnostic tools.
    • Early and precise detection of tumors and metastases is crucial for effective treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic performance of 67Gallium scintigraphy in children with suspected or treated malignant disease.
    • To determine the sensitivity and specificity of 67Ga scintigraphy for pediatric oncology.

    Main Methods:

    • 122 children with suspected malignant disease underwent 67Gallium scintigraphy.
    • Scans were analyzed for true-positive, true-negative, and false-negative results.
    • The study assessed detection of primary tumors, recurrence, and metastases.

    Main Results:

    • 67Ga scintigraphy achieved a diagnostic sensitivity of 78% and specificity of 79% for malignant disease.
    • True-positive and true-negative results were obtained in 22 patients each.
    • False-negative scans occurred in 5 children with adrenal neuroblastoma; recurrence/metastases were detected in 29/58 treated children.

    Conclusions:

    • 67Gallium scintigraphy is a valuable tool for the primary visualization of malignant tumors in children.
    • The technique is recommended for the initial diagnosis and follow-up control of pediatric cancers.
    • Further investigation may be warranted for specific tumor types like adrenal neuroblastoma.
