Cover Story: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of unknown primary (CUP-NETs) represent a challenging subset, as the inability to localize the primary tumor can limit surgical planning and impact treatment selection. While somatostatin receptor (SSTR) imaging with [111In]In-octreotide has limited sensitivity, PET-based tracers targeting SSTRs have improved detection. The role of [18F]FDG PET in this setting is less clear, particularly when performed concurrently with [68Ga]Ga-DOTA PET. Few studies have directly examined the added value of dual-tracer PET/CT in CUP-NETs. In this study, we assessed the diagnostic value of concurrent [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TOC and [18F]FDG PET/CT imaging to localize primary tumors in a prospective cohort of patients with histologically confirmed CUP-NETs that remained unlocalized by prior conventional and [111In]In-octreotide imaging. View this paper
