Cover Story: This review highlights the substantial benefit that peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with an α-emitting radionuclide may offer patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). The radiobiological basis for using α-emitters, based on their high linear energy transfer and short range, was discussed. Candidate α-emitters were critically evaluated. The current published literature for targeted alpha therapy of NETs was reviewed, from in vitro to clinical experience, showing a response rate far exceeding that expected from β-PRRT. Despite promising results, studies are heterogeneous, and treatment is non-optimized. It is hoped that theragnostic imaging and dosimetry will aid in understanding the relationships between activity, absorbed dose, therapeutic response, and toxicity to facilitate this optimization for future patients.
