So, PRRT is one of the accepted modes of technique which are used to treat Neuroendocrine Tumors.
But, how do you determine whether PRRT is the treatment of choice for your condition?
So, whenever we talk about neuroendocrine tumors, why are they called Neuroendocrine Tumors because their cell of origin is from the Neuroectodermal Cells and they have these tumors have certain endocrine functions which means they secrete certain hormones which cause some symptoms in the body depending on the kind of hormones which has been secreted.
So, the neuro endocrine tumors can arise from any organ of the body. The decision whether to treat a patient with PRRT or not depends on a few things. The most important thing is:
1. Where is the Origin of the Tumor?
2. What is the Aggressiveness or the Proliferation of the Tumor?
3. Is the tumor progressive or is it kind of stable, so how aggressively is it growing? And
4. And probably the most important is that does it express the receptors which are used to treat or to target the PRRT.
