New PET Tracer Shows Promise for uPAR-Targeted Therapy of Neuroendocrine Neoplasms September 28, 2022 - Journal of Nuclear Medicine, SNMMI Research published in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine suggested a novel PET radiotracer demonstrated efficacy in detecting a biomarker that indicates tumor aggressiveness in neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs). The ability to accurately detect the uPAR biomarker may guide physicians to guide treatment decisions, in addition to identifying the biomarker as a potential therapeutic target for peptide radionuclide therapy.
