#4390 FDG uptake in lung neuroendocrine tumours and its association with tumour characteristics and prognosis

Introduction: The utility of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) in the evaluation of lung neuroendocrine tumours (L-NETs) remains debated.

#4203 The diagnostic role of DWI-MRI for liver metastases of neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) in comparison with the functional imaging

Introduction: A combination of morphological and functional imaging plays a crucial role for diagnosis, staging and therapeutic decision for neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs). Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is emerging as a key imaging technique in the NEN field.

#4045 Radio-guided surgery with a new generation β-probe for radiolabelled somatostatin analogue, in patients with small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors – A Phase II surgical trial

Introduction: Radio-guided surgery (RGS) proved to be promising in neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Previous studies showed high sensitivity but low specificity using gamma probes to detect radiation emitted by radio-labelled somatostatin analogues.

#3975 Patterns of radiotracer uptake in patients with resectable lung carcinoids undergoing preoperative functional imaging

Introduction: There is paucity of real-world data on the use of preoperative functional imaging (PFI) in patients (pts) with lung carcinoids (LC), and the association of radiotracer uptake (RU) with histology/outcomes.

#3730 Somatostatin receptor expression in lung neuroendocrine tumors – An analysis of Dotatate PET scans

Introduction: Somatostatin receptor (SSTR) expression in metastatic lung neuroendocrine (carcinoid) tumors has not been well-characterized using modern positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Understanding the degree and uniformity of SSTR expression is important to establish the role of SSTR-targeted treatments, including peptide receptor radiotherapy (PRRT), in lung NETs.
