Treatment of neuroendocrine tumor (NET) of the colon with Lutetium-177-DOTATATE
During the first visit, the doctor will carry out a general physical examination and go through the results of previous laboratory and instrumental tests. After that, you will undergo the necessary additional tests such as the assessment of liver and kidney function, scintigraphy of the skeleton and salivary glands, somatostatin receptor imaging with Ga-68 DOTATATE PET/CT. This will allow the doctor to assess how effective the radionuclide therapy with Lutetium-177-DOTATATE will be and how well you will tolerate it. Also, the doctor will calculate your individual dosage of the radionuclide.
Radionuclide therapy with Lutetium-177-DOTATATE is carried out via intravenous administration of a solution with the radioactive isotope Lutetium-177-DOTATATE. The solution is injected through a catheter. This is a short procedure, as the infusion usually takes no more than 20 minutes.
During the procedure, you will need to apply cooling bags to the salivary glands, as Lutetium-177-DOTATATE partially accumulates in the salivary glands, affecting their function and causing dry mouth. You will also receive intravenous saline solutions and amino acid solutions to protect your kidneys.

According to the prestigious Focus magazine, the University Hospital Halle (Saale) ranks among the top German medical facilities!
The history of the hospital has more than 300 years, and during this time it managed to earn an excellent reputation not only in Germany, but throughout the world. The hospital positions itself as a specialized medical facility for the treatment of very severe and rare diseases and injuries. It provides medical care for patients of all age groups in accordance with the very latest scientific achievements. It is worth noting that the hospital is characterized by its successful research activities, especially in the field of cardiovascular diseases and oncopathology. The specialists of these fields have made a significant contribution to the development of new diagnostic methods and therapeutic approaches.
The hospital diagnoses and treats more than 40,000 inpatients and about 120,000 outpatients every year. Such a large number of patients indicates the reliability and effectiveness of medical services.
Some structural units of the hospital deserve special attention. For example, the Central Department of Emergency Medical Care (the largest in Saxony-Anhalt), modern dental rooms, the Perinatal Center and the Transplant Center with a history of more than 40 years.
Thanks to the use of the cutting-edge medical technology and the availability of advanced equipment, many operations and procedures, which previously could entail a lot of risks and consequences, are currently performed in the hospital with the help of sparing techniques. In this context, it is worth noting hybrid heart interventions, robotic interventions in urology (da Vinci surgical system), etc.
In addition, the key to successful clinical practice is the availability in the hospital of experienced and competent medical staff. The total number of medical staff includes more than 4,000 medical employees. Many doctors are known far beyond the borders of Germany, they regularly carry out significant researches, which allow them to develop modern medicine. In addition, the hospital specializes in training of medical students, therefore the qualified doctors and professors are willing to pass on their experience to the younger generation.
