Technetium or rhenium radionuclide labelled chelate-hexapeptide complexes are useful for the selective detection or treatment of tumors with somatostatin receptors. In particular, compounds of formula: <IMAGE> (wherein R, R1, R3 and A are as defined herein) incorporating an N3S2 chelate may be labelled with a radionuclide. The resulting complexes are useful as radioimaging agents or as radiopharmaceuticals for the treatment of certain tumors. |
