Lu-octreotate peptide receptor radionuclide therapy has shown promising potential as a safe and effective targeted therapy in inoperable, well to moderately differentiated metastatic neuroendocrine cancers. The results of the multicenter randomized clinical trial conducted in United States and Europe are concordant with current study.
Treatment with Lu-DOTATATE did not show clinically or statistically significant toxicity in CRHE patients regardless of frequency of embolization or time interval between embolization and first PRRT. Results suggested a statistically significant higher response rate in patients with a history of CRHE. A prior history of CRHE is not a contraindication to subsequent PRRT.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
