Abstract: Background Histopathology is the reference standard for diagnosing liver metastases of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Somatostatin receptor-positron emission tomography / computed tomography (SSR-PET/CT) has emerged as a promising non-invasive imaging modality for staging NETs. We aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of SSR-PET/CT in the identification of liver metastases in patients with proven NETs compared to histopathology. Methods Histopatho… Show more

“… 35 , 38 , 39 For high-grade NET (e.g., Ki-67 proliferation index > 15%) and NEC, 40 the sensitivity is considered better for FDG-PET, and hence FDG-PET is preferred due to a higher glucose uptake for these often overt malignant tumors. 41 43
