Diagnosis for Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma: A Joint Position Statement of the Korean Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma Task Force

Abstract: Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGLs) are rare catecholamine-secreting neuroendocrine tumors but can be life-threatening. Although most PPGLs are benign, approximately 10% have metastatic potential. Approximately 40% cases are reported as harboring germline mutations. Therefore, timely and accurate diagnosis of PPGLs is crucial. For more than 130 years, clinical, molecular, biochemical, radiological, and pathological investigations have been rapidly advanced in the field of PPGLs. However, performing diag… Show more

“…Given these clinical scenarios, our study’s findings support the suggestion that 18 F-FDOPA PET/CT should be the preferred initial modality compared with 123 I-MIBG scintigraphy with SPECT/CT for patients with high-risk PPGL or those with known genetic mutations. Nevertheless, contemplating the treatment with 131 I-MIBG or peptide receptor radionuclide therapy, 123 I-MIBG SPECT or 68 Ga-DOTA-SSA PET/CT might take precedence, in accordance with the guidelines 1 …”

“…This prospective, noninferiority, head-to-head comparative study was conducted at a single institution. Participants were included based on one of the following criteria: (1) suspected PPGL based on a biochemical screening, including 24-hour urinary normetanephrine, metanephrine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine, and/or plasma-free concentrations of normetanephrine and metanephrine conducted within the past 6 months; (2) an adrenal incidentaloma, suggestive of PPGL on anatomical imaging (CT or MRI) performed within the past 6 months; (3) characteristic symptoms and signs of PPGL; and (4) suspected of recurrence or metastases of known PPGL. The study excluded pregnant and lactating women, individuals aged less than 15 years, patients with a serum creatinine level greater than 3 mg/dL due to chronic renal failure, and those with a second primary cancer that was not in complete remission.…”

“…The grading system included the following types of evidence: well-designed randomized controlled trials, meta-analysis results, cohort studies, patient-control studies, and expert opinions on clinical experiences. The guideline committee used the grading levels of A, B, C, and E to grade the evidence supporting each recommendation, as described in previous publications ( Table 1 ) [ 12 , 13 ].…”
