Abstract
Dithiobiureas coordination chemistry towards palladium (II) ions and their possible application is presented and discussed. 1,6-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-2,5-dithiobiurea and 1,6-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,5-dithiobiurea afford two Pd(II) complexes with the general formula [Pd2(H2L)Cl2(PPh3)2]. The metal ion forms one chelate ring with the dithiobiurea, and binds to a triphenylphosphine and an additional leaving group cisplatin like. One of the complexes (1) is endowed not only with stability in DMSO and aqua solutions containing a biological buffer but also with cytotoxicity versus gastric cancer cell lines. Complex 1 does not interact covalently to DNA models, neither activates p53 or Checkpoint Kinase 1 key proteins for DNA damage response. Thus, we propose that complex 1 exerts its action by activating Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases [p38, Extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs)] as cell death inductors.

Abstract
Neuroendocrine tumors are a rare and heterogenous group of neoplasms that arise from hormone-producing cells throughout the body, with the greatest increase in incidence occurring among older adults aged ≥ 65 years. Despite this, there is currently a lack of data regarding the safety and efficacy of systemic treatment for older adults with neuroendocrine tumors. In this review, we provide a synopsis of the current standard-of-care pharmacotherapeutic treatments for neuroendocrine tumors, with an emphasis on available data in older adults. The benefits of various systemic options such as somatostatin analogs, tryptophan hydroxylase inhibition, molecular targeted agents, peptide receptor radionuclide therapy, and chemotherapy were similar between older adults compared to younger patients. However, real-world data regarding tolerance in the older adult population with neuroendocrine tumors are needed. Future development of novel systemic therapies in the neuroendocrine tumor treatment landscape and their inclusion of and potential impact on older adults living with neuroendocrine tumors is warranted.

Abstract
Simple Summary Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are rare and heterogeneous tumors, presenting in often challenging clinical scenarios, and require multidisciplinary discussion for optimal care. The theranostic approach (DOTA peptides labelled with 68Ga for imaging well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors NETs, and labelled with 90Y or 177Lu for therapy) plays a crucial role in the management of NENs to assess disease extension and criteria for peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) eligibility of based on somatostatin receptor (SSTR) expression. The present paper is an overview of currently employed radiolabeled SSTR analogues used for both diagnosis and therapy of NENs. Further emerging radiopharmaceuticals targeting SSTRs (e.g., fluorinated SSTR agonists, radiolabeled SSTR antagonists) as well as strategies to improve PRRT efficacy (by means of implementation of personalized treatment schemes, dosimetry, amelioration of response assessment strategies, and optimization of treatment sequencing) are also discussed. Finally, although very preliminary, some studies employing radiomic features in various kinds of NET are reported. Abstract Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are rare and heterogeneous tumors that require multidisciplinary discussion for optimal care. The theranostic approach (DOTA peptides labelled with 68Ga for diagnosis and with 90Y or 177Lu for therapy) plays a crucial role in the management of NENs to assess disease extension and as a criteria for peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) eligibility based on somatostatin receptor (SSTR) expression. On the diagnostic side, [68Ga]Ga-DOTA peptides PET/CT (SSTR PET/CT) is the gold standard for imaging well-differentiated SSTR-expressing neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). [18F]FDG PET/CT is useful in higher grade NENs (NET G2 with Ki-67 > 10% and NET G3; NEC) for more accurate disease characterization and prognostication. Promising emerging radiopharmaceuticals include somatostatin analogues labelled with 18F (to overcome the limits imposed by 68Ga), and SSTR antagonists (for both diagnosis and therapy). On the therapeutic side, the evidence gathered over the past two decades indicates that PRRT is to be considered as an effective and safe treatment option for SSTR-expressing NETs, and is currently included in the therapeutic algorithms of the main scientific societies. The positioning of PRRT in the treatment sequence, as well as treatment personalization (e.g., tailored dosimetry, re-treatment, selection criteria, and combination with other alternative treatment options), is warranted in order to improve its efficacy while reducing toxicity. Although very preliminary (being mostly hampered by lack of methodological standardization, especially regarding feature selection/extraction) and often including small patient cohorts, radiomic studies in NETs are also presented. To date, the implementation of radiomics in clinical practice is still unclear. The purpose of this review is to offer an overview of radiolabeled SSTR analogues for theranostic use in NENs.
