    Abstract This book outlines some new advances in genetics, clinical evaluation, localization, therapy (newly including immunotherapy) of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma including their metastatic counterparts. Well-known and experienced clinicians and scientists contributed to this book to include some novel approaches to these tumors. This book will serve to various health care professionals from different subspecialties, but mainly oncologists, endocrinologists, endocrine surgeons, pediatricians, and radiologists. This book shows that the field of pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma is evolving and a significant progress has been made in last 5 years requiring that health care professionals and scientists will learns new information and implement it in their clinical practice or scientific work, respectively. This book should not be missed by anybody who is focusing on neuroendocrine tumors, their newest evaluation and treatment

    Abstract Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas continue to be defined by significant morbidity and mortality despite their several recent advances in diagnosis, localization, and management. These adverse outcomes are largely related to mass effect as well as catecholamine-induced hypertension, tachyarrhythmias and consequent target organ damage, acute coronary syndromes, and strokes (ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke). Thus, a proper understanding of the physiology and pathophysiology of these tumors and recent advances are essential to affording optimal care. These major developments largely include a redefinition of metastatic behavior, a novel clinical categorization of these tumors into 3 genetic clusters, and an enhanced understanding of catecholamine metabolism and consequent specific biochemical phenotypes. Current advances in imaging of these tumors are shifting the paradigm from poorly specific anatomical modalities to more precise characterization of these tumors using the advent and development of functional imaging modalities. Furthermore, recent advances have revealed new molecular events in these tumors that are linked to their genetic landscape and, therefore, provide new therapeutic platforms. A few of these prospective therapies translated into new clinical trials, especially for patients with metastatic or inoperable tumors. Finally, outcomes are ever-improving as patients are cared for at centers with cumulative experience and well-established multidisciplinary tumor boards. In parallel, these centers have supported national and international collaborative efforts and worldwide clinical trials. These concerted efforts have led to improved guidelines collaboratively developed by healthcare professionals with a growing expertise in these tumors and consequently improving detection, prevention, and identification of genetic susceptibility genes in these patients.

    Abstract Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are defined as neuroendocrine tumors that produce catecholamines. Many recent advances in their management, localization, treatment, as well as surveillance have significantly improved outcomes for patients with PPGLs or carriers of pathogenic genetic variants linked to the development of these tumors. At present, those advances mainly include the molecular stratification of PPGLs into seven clusters, the 2017 WHO revised definition of these tumors, the presence of specific clinical features pointing toward PPGL, the use of plasma metanephrines and 3-methoxytyramine with specific reference limits to assess the likelihood of having a PPGL (e.g. patients at high and low risk) including age-specific reference limits, nuclear medicine guidelines outlining cluster- and metastatic disease-specific functional (here mainly positron emission tomography and metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy) imaging in the precise diagnostic localization of PPGLs, the guidelines for using radio- vs chemotherapy for patients with metastatic disease, and the international consensus on initial screening and follow-up of asymptomatic germline SDHx pathogenic variant carriers. Furthermore, new collaborative efforts particularly based on multi-institutional and worldwide initiatives are now considered key forces in improving our understanding and knowledge about these tumors and future successful treatments or even preventative interventions.

    Abstract Paragangliomas can metastasize, posing potential challenges in both symptomatic management and disease control. Systemic targeted radiotherapies using 131I-MIBG and 177Lu-DOTATATE are a mainstay in the treatment of metastatic paragangliomas. This clinical scenario and discussion aim to enhance physicians' knowledge of the stepwise approach to treat these patients with paraganglioma targeted radiotherapies. It comprehensively discusses current approaches to selecting paraganglioma patients for targeted radiotherapies and how to choose between the two radiotherapies based on specific patient and tumor characteristics, when either therapy is feasible, or one is superior to another one. The safety, efficacy, toxicity profiles, and optimization of these radiotherapies are also discussed, along with other therapeutic options including radiotherapies, available for patients besides these two therapies. As conclusion, perspectives in radiotherapies of paraganglioma patients are outlined since they hold near future promising approaches that can improve patient outcomes.
