Towards a Radio-guided Surgery with ${\beta }^{-}$ Decays: Uptake of a somatostatin analogue (DOTATOC) in Meningioma and High Grade Glioma

Abstract

A novel radio guided surgery (RGS) technique for cerebral tumors using ${\beta }^{-}$ radiation is being developed. Checking the availability of a radio-tracer that can deliver a ${\beta }^{-}$ emitter to the tumor is a fundamental step in the deployment of such technique. This paper reports a study of the uptake of 90Y labeled (DOTATOC) in the meningioma and the high grade glioma (HGG) and a feasibility study of the RGS technique in these cases.
