Abstrakt		Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) may be fatal, though at a significantly slower pace than their exocrine counterparts. Nuclear medicine procedures for diagnosis and treatment of NETs are based on expression of somatostatin receptors. Radioguided surgery is a new method for diagnosing and treating many tumours and uses introperative gamma probes. The use and development of intraoperative gamma probes in the last 10 years has enabled the development of minimally invasive procedures in oncological surgery, with an improvement in both the survival rate and the quality of life. Systemic therapy with radiolabeled somatostatin analogues is a promising new tool in the management of patients with inoperable or metastatic NETs. In terms of tumour regression, the results obtained are encouraging.
