In the last few years, the role and use of medical technologies in (neuro)endocrine oncology has greatly evolved allowing not only important diagnostic information but also prognostic stratification in different clinical situations. The terms prognostic and predictive are commonly used to describe the relationships between biomarkers and patients' clinical outcomes but have quite different meaning. The present work discusses the prognostic and predictive value of nuclear medicine imaging. It critically reviews the clinical significance and potential impact of molecular examinations on follow-up and therapeutic strategies in patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms, thyroid tumors, and adrenal malignancies.
