I’ve written about Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) many times and also written summary of evidence of the use of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) in Neuroendocrine Neoplasms (NENs). The latter is external beam radiotherapy whereas the former is a totally different technique delivering radiation combined with somatostatin analogues via an intra-venous (IV) route. Both have the same aim, to eradicate or reduce tumour bulk. External beam (EB) has been around for some time but PRRT is relatively new. That said, EB in the form of SBRT is state of the art EB radiotherapy.
I will link in those two blog posts below.
But this article came up on my radar which is fascinating. Little is known about the efficacy or potential toxicity of this approach; understanding the outcomes of patients treated with these two modalities in a sequential fashion will provide insights into the appropriateness of embarking on a combined therapy strategy. The small population study has declared some limitations but the results are worth reading.
Tolerability and outcomes of neuroendocrine tumors treated with PRRT and SBRT

I finally made 16 years since I was diagnosed on 26th July 2010. A milestone I was not certain at the time I would reach.

I would also mention those who contributed to my “Tea Fund” which resides on PayPal. You don’t need a PayPal account as you can select a card but don’t forget to select the number of units first (i.e. 1 = £4, 2 = £8, 3 = £12, and so on), plus further on, tick a button to NOT create a PayPal account if you don’t need one. Clearly, if you have a PayPal account, the process is much simpler
