Summary

This study looked at 30 people with a rare and aggressive type of gut cancer called poorly-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma. Researchers used a special PET scan to measure how much of a certain protein (somatostatin receptor) the tumors have. The goal was to see if enough patients have this protein to make a targeted radiation therapy (PRRT) a possible future treatment option.
