177Lu-DOTATATE NETs Nursing care

Abstract

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are cancers of the endocrine cells, originating in organs such as lungs, stomach, small intestine, colon, or pancreas and spreading to other organs. Whilst, treatment modalities of NETs comprise surgery, chemotherapy and novel innovative drugs to targeted organs, including the use of radiopharmaceutical agents. 177Lu-DOTATATE is an alternative and efficacious treatment with increasing survival rates and few side effects. Nursing care of NETs patients with 177Lu-DOTATATE therapy based on a specialized knowledge on disease pathology and radiation in order to increase patient safety and enhance efficiency effectiveness of 177Lu-DOTATATE therapy.
