Clinical Usefulness of 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography in the Diagnostic Algorithm of Advanced Entero-Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms

Background The role of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET) in the diagnostic algorithm of entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (EP NENs) is unclear because most available data derive from heterogeneous populations in terms of tumor biology and disease status at time of examination. The aim of this study was to determine the ability of 18F-FDG PET to identify patients with more aggressive disease among those...
