Reporting from ESMO Congress 2019, Philippe Ruszniewski comments on results of 3 studies that evaluated the effects of the addition of radioembolisation to peptide receptor radionuclide therapy in patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), doubling a dose of lanreotide in patients with pancreatic or midgut NETs who progressed on conventional dosage, and the efficacy and safety of novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor surufatinib in well-differentiated advanced extrapancreatic NETs.
Abstracts:
LBA76: Efficacy and safety of surufatinib in patients with well-differentiated advanced extrapancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs): results from the randomized phase III study (SANET-ep)
1388P: Baseline characteristics from CLARINET FORTE: Evaluating lanreotide autogel (LAN) 120 mg every 14 days in patients with progressive pancreatic or midgut neuroendocrine tumours during a standard first-line LAN regimen.
1380O: 177Lu-DOTATATE plus 166Ho-radioembolization in patients with neuroendocrine tumours; a single center, prospective, interventional, non-comparative, open label, phase II study (HEPAR PLUS study)
