Comparing Response Evaluation Methods for PRRT in Neuroendocrine Tumors: Insights from an Exploratory Study
: Functional PET-based responsecriteria suggest association with progression-free survival compared to RECIST criteria and Krenning score changes. However, given the exploratory nature of the study and its methodological limitations, these observations should be considered hypothesis-generating only. They do not provide definitive evidence of superiority over established assessment methods and therefore should not be interpreted as practice-changing.
