Thank you for your prompt reply. Wonder if PRRT is the first treatment option prescribed for your wife instead of the more common octreotide injection?

All the best to you and your wife.

Kwan:
Based on our own experiences dealing exclusively with NET's:
There may be cases in which neither octreotide nor lanreotide are effective for on - going treatment e.g. tumor growth is not suppressed when using these therapies. In cases such as this, PRRT maybe be the best choice - certainly the patient's medical team & recommendations from a tumor board are important to receive and to define the best therapy path going forward.
