Take the First Step Towards Tomorrow: See If Lutathera at Regional One Health May Be An Option
Innovative Therapy to Slow or Stop Tumor Growth
Understand How Lutathera Can Help You Focus on Tomorrow
Our experienced team is committed to delivering comprehensive and personalized care to our patients. We are excited to offer an innovative targeted therapy: Lutathera.
If you have GEP-NETs with the SSTR+ marker, Lutathera treatment at Regional One Health targets these cancer cells with radiation, aiming to slow their growth, so you can focus on a healthier tomorrow.
“As a targeted therapy, Lutathera focuses on attacking cancer cells, and healthy cells are not impacted. The treatment is well-tolerated and very effective,” Dr. Chokshi said.
How Does Lutathera Work?
- Lutathera is the first Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) approved to treat certain neuroendocrine tumors (called GEP-NETs) in adults and children 12 years and older. Should we remove this since they don’t see children?
- Think of it like a “guided missile” zeroing in on tumor cells, using radiation to damage and kill cancer cells.
- The drug contains medicine that focuses on the tumors, keeping the drug from hurting other parts of your body.
- Lutathera specifically targets neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), which grow in hormone-producing glands and can start in various places like the lungs, stomach, pancreas, or gut.
- It can also help manage the symptoms that these tumors may cause.
