neuroendocrine tumors (nets) constitute a heterogeneous group of neoplasms including carcinoids, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, pituitary tumors, medullary thyroid carcinoma and phaeochromocytomas. the symptoms and the outcome of nets differ considerably between patients depending on several factors. by labelling tracers with a radioisotope, the tracer acts as a carrier to deliver the radioa...
