Abstract

Somatostatin receptors are over-expressed in many tumours, mainly of neuroendocrine origin, thus enabling treatment with somatostatin analogues. Almost a decade of clinical experience of receptor radionuclide therapy with the analogue 90Y-[DOTA]0-Tyr3-octreotide [90Y-DOTATOC] has now been obtained at a few centres of excellence. This review reports on the present state of the art of receptor radionuclide therapy and discusses new perspectives.
