Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are distinctive tumours which arise from cells which have neural and hormonal origins. Gastroenteropancreatic tumours (GEP) are the most common clinically encountered NETs. Imaging has a lead role in the evaluation of these tumours – detection, staging and follow-up. It is also known that PET–CT with 18F-FDG has a limited value in well-differentiated NETs. This study was performed to evaluate the clinical value of 18</sup...

Introduction: Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) represent a diverse group of tumours with varying clinical presentations and outcomes. Despite advancements in treatment, there remains a need to better understand the behaviour of somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) to monitor disease progression and therapeutic efficacy. Our study aims to evaluate the impact of octreotide acetate (OA), Lanreotide acetate (LA) and Pasireotide (P) on LCC-18 cells, investigating potential mechanisms behi...
