Neuroendocrine neoplasm imaging and image-guided therapies

This chapter details the nature of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours, specified to the different anatomical regions of appearance. This categorization is meaningful as it influences not only disease aetiology, but also diagnostic and therapeutic methods. Neuroendocrine tumours are characterized by their specific receptor expression leading to the development of multimodal image techniques and treatments. Most attention is given to peptide receptor-targeted radiotherapy (PRRT) which exemplifies the integration of receptor targeting with multiple diagnostic techniques and methods of nuclear labelling.
