Abstract:

Pheochromocytoma (PCC) and paraganglioma (PGL) are rare neuroendocrine tumors originating from chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla or extra-adrenal paraganglia. All PCCs/PGLs have metastatic potential, phenotypically realized in no more than 40% of cases. Due to the lack of validated criteria for the aggressive clinical course and prognostic scales for PCCs/PGLs, they are currently considered «malignant» tumors potentially capable of metastasizing, requiring long-term dynamic observation. The diagnosis of metastatic PCC/PGL can only be made based on the identification of metastatic foci in organs and tissues that normally do not contain chromaffin cells. The treatment of metastatic PCC and PGL is primarily based on radionuclide and drug therapy. This article provides a literature review on the treatment of metastatic PCC and PGL, detailing modern possibilities of radioreceptor and antitumor drug therapy
