Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The heterogeneity of neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs), reflected in their various levels of clinical aggressiveness and responses to therapy, has been gradually unraveled over the last several decades. Thanks to the growing number of studies and research activity, there have been several updates to our knowledge of the landscape of their diagnostic and treatment options. Novel targeted drugs, imaging tools, and radionuclides for peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) have been introduced, leading to numerous new guidelines and guidance papers. There is a mounting awareness of the role of precision medicine, particularly in this field. The purpose of the present Special Issue is to collect original research, expert opinions, and reviews building on basic, translational, and clinical aspects of these advances and shedding light on possible future directions.
