Treatment with radiolabeled somatostatin analogs is a promising new tool in the management of patients who have inoperable or metastasized endocrine tumors. Symptomatic improvement may occur with all111In-,90Y-, or177Lu-labeled somatostatin analogs that have been used for peptide receptor radionuclide therapy. The results that were obtained with [90Y-DOTA°,Tyr3]octreotide and [177Lu-DOTA°,Tyr3]octreotate are encouraging in tumor regression. Also, if kidney-protective agents are used, the side effects of this therapy are few and mild. These data compare favorably with the limited number of alternative treatment approaches.
