PRRT is a treatment choice for inoperable or metastasized neuroendocrine tumours and this therapy seems more effective in the biochemical and volume control of disease than SSA. We investigated the role of medical therapy with SSA and PRRT in patients with well and moderately differentiated neuroendocrine tumours. We evaluated 55 patients with well or moderately differentiated neuroendocrine tumours; 31 patients with either metastatic, unresectable or functioning tumours were ...
