What is Lutathera?

(sometimes also referred to as carcinoid tumors).

Before you begin Lutathera treatment, you will meet with a nuclear medicine doctor. They will take scans of your body. These scans, with your medical history and blood tests, will help your doctors decide if Lutathera works for you.

The treatment has been shown to improve overall survival and quality of life in clinical studies.

Lutathera active ingredients

Lutathera is a Radiopharmaceutical, containing lutetium-177, a type of radiation therapy or peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT).

Lutetium Lu 177 dotatate attaches to somatostatin receptors. Once bound to somatostatin receptor-expressing cells, including malignant somatostatin receptor-positive tumor cells, the compound is internalized. The beta emission from Lu 177 causes damage to the cells by the formation of free radicals in somatostatin receptor-positive cells and in neighboring cells.
