Popis: Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) has emerged as a promising therapeutic tool to confront neoplasms of neuroendocrine character both primaries and secondaries. Particularly, locoregional therapeutic schemes have been developed focused on the management of liver metastases. Among these novel therapeutic procedures, intra-arterial infusions of high doses of 111In-Octreotide were performed in our institution for more than a decade covering the whole spectrum of liver metastases both in early and in advanced cases. This chapter prescribes the Auger electron efficacy in paraganglioma primaries and liver-metastasized cases, as well.
