ABSTRACT The search for new biomarkers in cancer is currently one of the most widely sought end points in medical imaging, with the aim of improving the management decisions based on reliable indicators of prognosis, being neuroendocrine neoplasms a challenging group of tumors under investigation. Multitracer PET/CT imaging, in which different radiotracers supply information of different metabolic aspects of the tumor, can help classify and select the most appropriate therapy, providing basic aspects that will probably allow the generation of new imaging biomarkers useful in patient management.
