#472 Detection of Liver Metastases and Prognostic Value of Functional and Anatomical Imaging in Patients with Neuroendocrine Tumors

Introduction: Liver metastases (LM) are frequent in patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and are associated with decreased overall survival (OS). Several treatment options are available depending on degree, localization, size and number of LM. For optimal choice of treatment and correct staging, accurate imaging modalities are crucial.

#470 Overall Survival of Well-Differentiated Neuroendocrine Tumors Evaluated by F-18-FDG-PET

Introduction: Today, grading, and thereby choice of treatment strategy for patients with neuroendocrine (NE) tumors, is mainly based on the proliferation index, Ki-67. As a supplement to this pathological evaluation, a whole body image analysis could be of value.

#268 Temozolomide as 2.-3. line Treatment of Patients with Poorly Differentiated Neuroendocrine Carcinomas

Introduction: Knowledge of the clinical efficacy of treatment beyond first line of poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (PDEC) is sparse. Temozolomide (TMZ) has shown effect in well-differentiated NET.

#138 The use of F-18-FDG-PET for patients with neuroendocrine tumors

Introduction: Neoplastic tissue exhibits high glucose utilization, which can be imaged by 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET). Whether FDG-PET is useful for neuroendocrine (NE) tumors, however, is questionable, due to the slow growth rate often observed in these tumors.
