Quality of life in patients with Neuroendocrine Tumours (NETs) undergoing Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT)
This multisite international project is supported by the Commonwealth Neuroendocrine Tumour Collaborative (CommNETs) - Quality of Life Working Group. We are examining patient-reported data collected over the course of PRRT induction at several institutions in Australia and Canada to understand how the treatment affects patients' symptoms and functioning. PRRT is a radioisotope therapy that is used to treat symptoms and slow disease progress.
