Thrombocytopenia after meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) therapy in neuroblastoma patients may be caused by selective MIBG uptake via the serotonin transporter located on megakaryocytes

BACKGROUND: The therapeutic use of [(131)I]meta-iodobenzylguanidine ([(131)I]MIBG) is often accompanied by hematological toxicity, primarily consisting of severe and persistent thrombocytopenia. We hypothesize that this is caused by selective uptake of MIBG via the serotonin transporter (SERT) locat...
