Targeted radionuclide therapy for neuroendocrine tumours.
Evidence supporting the potential contribution of targeted radiotherapy to the management of neuroendocrine tumours is now strong. Acting systemically, this is an effective option for patients with inoperable or multi-site disease. Toxicity is generally low, being limited to reversible myelosuppression and theoretical nephrotoxicity. Prerequisites for treatment success include demonstration of ...
متن کاملPeptide receptor radionuclide therapy for advanced neuroendocrine tumors.
Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) consists of the systemic administration of a synthetic peptide, labeled with a suitable β-emitting radionuclide, able to irradiate tumors and their metastases via internalization through a specific receptor (usually somatostatin S2), over-expressed on the cell membrane. After almost 2 decades of experience, PRRT, with either (90)Y-octreotide or (177)...
متن کاملJoint guidance on peptide receptor radionuclide therapy in neuroendocrine tumors.
A practical guidance document on peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRNT) in neuroendocrine tumors is being published this month in the European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (1). This document is the result of close collaboration among experts in the field of PRRNT from the International Atomic Energy Agency; the Radionuclide Therapy, Oncology, Dosimetry, and Radiophar...
متن کاملPeptide receptor radionuclide therapy.
On their plasma membranes, cells express receptor proteins with high affinity for regulatory peptides, such as somatostatin. Changes in the density of these receptors during disease, for example, overexpression in many tumors, provide the basis for new imaging methods. The first peptide analogues successfully applied for visualization of receptor-positive tumors were radiolabeled somatostatin a...
متن کاملRadioguided surgery and systemic radionuclide therapy of neuroendocrine tumours.
Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) may be fatal, though at a significantly slower pace than their exocrine counterparts. Nuclear medicine procedures for diagnosis and treatment of NETs are based on expression of somatostatin receptors. Radioguided surgery is a new method for diagnosing and treating many tumours and uses introperative gamma probes. The use and development of intraoperative gamma prob...
