Clinical trial evidence shows that lutetium (177Lu) oxodotreotide (referred to as lutetium) is effective for treating somatostatin receptor-positive gastrointestinal and pancreatic NETs. Indirect comparison with everolimus, sunitinib and best supportive care suggests lutetium is effective for treating gastrointestinal ...
