  • Summary: Radioligand therapy is a type of treatment being developed for many cancer types, including gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs). It uses specially designed drugs to deliver radiation directly to tumor cells within the body. Studies have shown that radioligand therapies can help some patients with GEP-NETs to live longer without disease progression. However, side effects have been reported in patients treated with radioligand therapies. Additionally, there is a risk of radiation exposure among people who come into contact with treated patients. In this article, we provide practical strategies to prevent and manage the side effects of radioligand therapy and to maintain radiation safety.
