Stellenwert der Peptid-Radio-Rezeptor-Therapie für das Management neuroendokriner Tumoren
摘要
Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are rare, heterogeneous neoplasms that often express somatostatin receptors (SSTRs). This allows targeted peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) for NETs. PRRT is currently indicated as second- or third-line therapy for metastatic or unresectable, progressive, SSTR-positive NETs of grade (G) 1 or 2. Adequate bone marrow reserves as well as renal and hepatic function are required for PRRT. The most commonly used radiopharmaceutical for PRRT is 177Lu-DOTA-TATE. PRRT prolongs progression-free and overall survival, reduces or stabilises tumour burden, and improves tumour symptoms and quality of life. Adverse events associated with PRRT are mostly mild and transient. Haemato- and nephrotoxicity are the most common toxicities following PRRT. The NETTER‑2 and COMPOSE trials are investigating PRRT with 177Lu-DOTA-TATE/-TOC in G2 and G3 gastroenteropancreatic NETs.
