Background: Patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) have divergent survival, even when having the same site of primary tumor, and tumor stage and grade. 68Gallium (68Ga)-DOTATATE positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) is a sensitive imaging modality for detecting NETs. The purpose of this study was to determine whether 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging has any prognostic utility in patients with NETs.Methods: One hundred and eighty-fou...
