Aims: Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy targets somatostatin receptors expressed on well differentiated neuroendocrine neoplasms. Retrospective monocentric studies indicate that peptide receptor radionuclide therapy is an effective treatment for patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms. Patients and methods: We initiated a multi-institutional, prospective and board reviewed registry for patients treated with peptide receptor radionuclide therapy. 450 patients were included and followed for a mean of 24.4 months. Patients were treated with Lutetium-177 (54%), Yttrium-90 (17%) or both radionuclides (29%). Primar…
