For quantification of SSTR-positivity at PET, the categories “positive” (all tumor lesions PET-positive with 68Ga-DOTATATE uptake > liver), “intermediate” (the majority of lesions positive) and “negative” (the majority of / all tumor lesions PET-negative) are used. The IRS score is given for histologically assessed SSTR2a/5 expression.
