Is LUTATHERA
right for me?
I am newly diagnosed with GEP-NETs and ready for my first treatment
You could be ready to take the first step with LUTATHERA
Choosing the first treatment for your cancer is a big step after getting your NET diagnosis. The questions below can help you and your doctor see if LUTATHERA could be the right first step in your treatment plan right from the start.
Is my cancer SSTR+?
LUTATHERA targets NET cells that have proteins called somatostatin receptors (SSTRs). You can find out if your cancer is SSTR positive (SSTR+) by asking your doctor to undergo SSTR imaging. You may have heard this referred to as a gallium or copper scan.
Is my cancer faster growing (Ki-67, 10% or more [grade 2 or 3])?
A Ki-67 test can tell you how fast your cancer is growing. LUTATHERA was studied in people who have faster-growing GEP-NETs (Ki-67, 10%–55% [grade 2 or 3]).
Has my cancer spread to my lymph nodes or other organs?
LUTATHERA was studied in people who had GEP-NETs that spread to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or other organs. People who couldn’t have surgery to remove their cancer were also included.
Is my cancer well-differentiated?
LUTATHERA was studied in people who had well-differentiated GEP-NETs.
Is my tumor functional (producing hormones) or nonfunctional?
LUTATHERA is an option for functional and nonfunctional tumors.
If you've been newly diagnosed and your NET looks like this, LUTATHERA could be the right first treatment for you.
Sometimes, the SSA you're currently taking to treat your NET isn't enough and your cancer can progress. If that happens, it's important to talk to your doctor about what to do next.
If your cancer is SSTR+, slower growing (Ki-67, 0%–20% [grade 1 or 2]), and progressing on SSA treatment, it could be time to start treatment with LUTATHERA.
