Replies to "what is the difference between Lanreotide and prrt?"
PRRT ( peptide receptor radionuclide therapy) is a radiation treatment.. I was on Ocreotide injections for over a year, it did stop the flushing, and the spread of the tumors, but a few of existing tumors were still growing. The PRRT treatments were to stop the ones from growing.. I will be receiving my third treatment at the end of the month, and the last one in May. I will also be getting a scan prior to the next treatment . The PRRT treatment I am receiving is Lutathera. There is a lot of info on line..
My personal experience is prrt is a four hour long session finishing up with a landreotide injection. An advanced treatment prrt, and landreotide is to keep the net at bay. There’s plenty of information available online. I have just finished prrt and still on landreotide. Both were tolerable for me and I hear different for everyone.
