Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy with [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE in Patients with Advanced GEP NENS: Present and Future Directions

Cancers (Basel). 2022 Jan 24;14(3):584. doi: 10.3390/cancers14030584.

Abstract

This review article summarizes findings published in the last years on peptide receptor radionuclide therapy in GEP NENs, as well as potential future developments and directions. Unanswered questions remain, such as the following: Which is the correct dose and individual dosimetry? Which is the place for salvage PRRT-Lu? Whicht is the role of PRRT-Lu in the pediatric population? Which is the optimal sequencing of PRRT-Lu in advanced GEP NETs? Which is the place of PRRT-Lu in G3 NENs? These, and future developments such as inclusion new radiopharmaceuticals and combination therapy with different agents, such as radiosensitizers, will be discussed.

Keywords: PRRT; [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE; neuroendocrine neoplasms.
