- Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the pancreas and midgut are very rare in children, and those with metastatic disease face low survival rates.
- Recent adult clinical trials indicate that adding peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with Lu-DOTATATE significantly improves disease control, achieving about 80% effectiveness with few side effects.
- The study highlights the successful application of Lu-DOTATATE in treating two pediatric patients with metastatic NET, suggesting potential benefits for young patients.
