"Well differentiated thymic carcinoid tumours will be intensely avid on Dotatate PET, indicating the presence of somatostatin receptors14. Poorly differentiated neuroendocrine tumours may have variable/minimal intensity of Dotatate tracer uptake (these tumours are more likely to be FDG avid)."

There Is
suggestion

"Affected patients are typically in the fourth or fifth decades of life. There is a recognised male predominance with M:F ratios around 3:1 2,7."

Line 3:76 · Don't start a sentence with 'There is'.
Semicolons
suggestion

"Approximately 50% of thymic carcinoids are functionally active 6,7. Approximately 40% of patients have Cushing syndrome as a result of adrenocorticotropic hormone secretion by the tumour; these patients tend to have smaller lesions at the time of diagnosis since they present early with signs of corticosteroid excess. Up to 30% of patients have advanced-stage disease at presentation 6."

Line 6:208 · Use semicolons judiciously.
Biographical Lifespan
suggestion

"History and etymology"

Line 30:1 · A bold element in the History and etymology section should be a person; it would be useful to have their lifespan details: '<h4>History and etymology</h4> <p>They are thought to have been initially described by <strong>Rosai</strong> '
