NETTER-2 STUDY RE LOOKING BEYONG THE HEAD

26th January 2024 The latest breakthrough in neuroendocrine cancer treatment comes from the NETTER-2 trial, where Lutetium (177Lu) oxodotreotide, a radio-labeled somatostatin analog, has shown remarkable success in treating high-grade advanced gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). Published at the ASCO Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium, the results indicate a 72% reduction in the risk of progression or death, establishing a potential first-line option for patients with well-differenti - ated, high-grade tumours. While the findings are promising, real-world implementation issues like availability, accessibility, and affordability need consideration. The positive results offer hope but also raise questions about the treatment’s broader application and patients’ indi- vidual preferences and expectations.
