Radioaerosol Imaging Predicts the Utility of Aerosolized Antifungal Therapy in Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) tumors have neuroendocrine features. In vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that 50%-75% of SCLC tumors express receptors for somatostatin. This might enable in vivo localization of the primary tumor and its metastases by using scintigraphy with a radiolabeled somatostat...
