Abstract
The prognosis of pancreatic cancer is closely related to the histological origin of the tumors and the stage of the disease. As recognition is advanced in most cases, treatment options are limited. The development of nuclear medicine hybrid techniques (SPECT/CT, PET/CT, PET/MRI) and new therapies plays an important role in the recognition and treatment of pancreatic tumors. These measurements are useful in characterizing biological behavior, based on which tumors can be recognized at an early stage, promote the treatment, the selection of optimal therapies (e.g., targeted therapies). The authors discuss the role of nuclear medicine techniques in the management of patients suffering from pancreatic tumors.
