Good question, Sandy.
CAPTEM is the acronym for the chemotherapy combination with drugs called CAPecitabine and TEMozolomide.
Cap/Tem is a chemo based pill that is typically used as a first course of treatment upon diagnosis of NET’s. It was generally tolerated ok, better than what I have heard from other intravenous forms of cancer. It has been very effective in most cases, but your team will make that decision depending on what’s best in your case. Hope that helps?
