Abstract

Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms, arising from cells of the endocrine system, with various clinical behaviors. Although these neoplasms are considered rare, a significant increase in the incidence and detectability of NET has been noted in many epidemiological studies in recent years. Among the various therapeutic options, peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT), using somatostatine has been shown to be highly effective and a well-tolerated therapy, improving survival parameters. The current use of radionuclides for PRRT is β-emitters. Due to hypoxia cancer tissue could be resistant for β-emitters. Quite long penetration range had a significant impact on side effects. α-particles with higher energy and shorter penetration range in comparison to β-particles, have distinct advantages for use in targeted therapy. The clinical experience with somatostatine based targeted α therapy (TAT) in NET showed very promising results even in patienicts refractory to treatment with β-emitters. This article summarizes current developments in preclinical and clinical investigation on TAT in NET.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
