Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT): Innovations and Improvements. [PDF]
Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are tumors originating from neuroendocrine cells distributed throughout the human body. With an increasing incidence over the past few decades, they represent a highly heterogeneous group of neoplasms, mostly expressing somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) on their cell surface. Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) has

Safety and Efficacy of Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) Following Bland Embolization for Metastatic Neuroendocrine Tumors. [PDF]
Rationale: Evaluating the long-term safety and efficacy of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) in patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumors (mNETs) who have undergone prior bland hepatic transarterial embolization (TAE). Methods: Retrospective review of mNET patients who received PRRT with 177Lu-DOTATATE between 4/2018 and 02/2022 with ...

Indications of Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) in Gastroenteropancreatic and Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Tumors: An Updated Review. [PDF]
Radionuclide therapy for neuroendocrine tumors is a form of systemic radiotherapy that allows the administration of targeted radionuclides into tumor cells that express a large quantity of somatostatin receptors. The two most commonly used radio-peptides for radionuclide therapy in neuroendocrine tumors are 90Y-DOTATOC and 177Lu-DOTATATE.

Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) in metastatic neuroendocrine tumors of unknown primary (CUP-NETs). [PDF]
Rationale: Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) has been explored for more than two decades, but there are only limited data on the treatment of NETs of unknown primary site (CUP-NETs). This study aimed to analyze the long-term outcome, efficacy, and safety of PRRT in patients with CUP-NETs ...

Reducing the number of CTs performed to monitor personalized dosimetry during peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). [PDF]
Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with [177Lu]-DOTA-TATE is an effective treatment of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). After each cycle of treatment, patient dosimetry evaluates the radiation dose to the risk organs, kidneys, and bone marrow, the most radiosensitive tissues.
