Gallium 68 PET/CT Scanning for Neuroendocrine Tumors — Information and Locations (updated January 26, 2019)

The US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) June 1, 2016 approval of the Gallium-68 PET/CT DOTATATE scan using NETSPOT® heralded a new age of nuclear imaging for neuroendocrine tumors in the United States.

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR A STATE-BY STATE LIST OF WHERE THE SCAN IS OFFERED

Locations of the Gallium-68 PET/CT scan have been submitted, in part, in response to a post on the Carcinoid Cancer Foundation’s Facebook page inquiring where people have had the scan around the world. Most of these in the United States will be the scan using NETSPOT®; others will be scans that are in clinical trial. For further information, please contact the PET/CT department or the Nuclear Medicine department at the institution. We will be adding to the list on a monthly basis based on feedback from the NET community.

If you know of other institutions that offer the scan, please contact the Carcinoid Cancer Foundation by phone at 888-722-3132, Eastern Time, or by email at carcinoid@carcinoid.org and share the name of the institution, city, state, and phone number for more information about the scan.

Before scheduling a Gallium-68 scan you should:

  • Discuss this imaging test with your physician
  • Obtain a referral (if needed) to the institution offering the scan
  • Check with your insurance company to determine if the scan will be covered.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) granted NETSPOT® Transitional Pass-Through Status under an “A-code” (A9587) for drug reimbursement, effective January 1, 2017. What this means is that the different institutions doing the Gallium-68 scan utilizing NETSPOT® now have a reimbursement code to submit to Medicare/Medicaid and private payors. While it does not guarantee that individual patients will get insurance coverage, this is a very positive step for getting more institutions to offer the Gallium-68 scan. To read the Advanced Accelerator Applications press release about the Transitional Pass-Through Status, click here: http://bit.ly/2hf8Sjr.

For your information, here are some articles about Gallium-68 imaging:

 

 

  • Gallium 68 DOTATATE PET/CT imaging using NETSPOT® has been included in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology version 1.2017 update for the evaluation of neuroendocrine tumors. “The intent of the NCCN Guidelines is to assist in the decision-making process of individuals involved in cancer care—including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, payers, patients and their families—with the ultimate goal of advancing patient care in the fight against cancer.”  CLICK HERE to read the press release.  The NCCN guidelines are available at no charge here: https://www.nccn.org/professionals/physician_gls/f_guidelines.asp.

Locations where the Gallium-68 PET/CT scan is offered in other countries will be added to the list at a later date.

For further information, please contact the PET/CT department or the Nuclear Medicine department at the institution and ask to speak with the person who schedules the Gallium-68 PET/CT scan with NETSPOT® for carcinoid and neuroendocrine tumors.
