Abstract
- The article describes the cases of six patients with neuroendocrine tumours, who developed hormonal crises after receiving the antineoplastic agent octreotate-Lu-177-DOTA-Tyr-3 based on a study in the Netherlands by B. de Keizer et al, published in the April 2008 issue of the "European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging."
