title: [Neuroendocrine tumours treated with mIBG and radiolabeled peptides].
abstract: Neuroendocrine tumours are a heterogeneous group, characterized by good prognosis, but important disparities of the evolutionary potential. In the aggressive forms, the therapeutic strategies are limited. The metabolic or systemic radiotherapy, using radiolabelled peptides, which can act at the same time on the primary tumour and its metastases, constitutes a tempting therapeutic alternative, currently in evolution. The preliminary results are encouraging; the prospects are related to the development of new radiopharmaceuticals, with the use of other peptide analogues whose applications will overflow the framework of the neuroendocrine tumours.
