peptide receptor radionuclide therapy(English)

• an established treatment for nonoperable or metastatic neuroendocrine neoplasms that highly and frequently express somatostatin receptors. More generally, this is an attractive therapy option for delivering cytotoxic radiation to tumor cells through specific binding of a radiolabeled peptide to a molecular target. The development of imaging companions gave rise to the concept of radiotheranostics, important for in vivo tumor detection, characterization, and staging but also for individual patient selection and treatment
