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. CIs: Dr Gabrielle Cehic (Senior Nuclear Medicine Physician, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital), Dr Grace Kong (Senior Nuclear Medicine Physician, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre) and others from the CommNETs Quality of Life Working Group.
