Specific efficacy of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy with 177 Lu-octreotate in advanced neuroendocrine tumours of the small intestine

Purpose Increasing evidence supports the value of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) in patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumours (NET), but there are limited data on its specific efficacy in NET of small intestinal (midgut) origin. This study aims to define the benefit of PRRT with 177Lu-octreotate for this circumscribed entity derived by a uniformly treated patient cohort.
