Core Tip The aim is to establish the role of somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) in the management of 35 patients with neuroendocrine tumors of appendix (ANET). Sensitivity of the method was 92.31, negative predictive value was 95.00% and accuracy 88.57%. In 6 patients SRS significantly changed the management. Median progression- free survival in SRS positive patients was 52 months while in SRS negative patients it was 60 months, without statistically significant difference between the two groups (P = 0.434). Our results confirmed the value of SRS in the follow-up of the patients with ANET after surgery, if recurrences or metastases are suspected.
