Abstract

68Ga-SSTR PET/CT provided superior detection of lymph node metastases (LNM) compared to ceCT. Preoperative integration of 68Ga-SSTR PET/CT, particularly in conjunction with ceCT, might enhance staging accuracy, guiding less aggressive surgical approaches and avoiding non-targeted lymphadenectomy, especially in patients with small DP-NENs.
