A new type of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) appears to be safe in metastatic neuroendocrine tumor patients who have exhausted conventional treatment options. This novel approach, presented at the Society of Nuclear Medicine 2026 Annual Meeting, resulted in partial remission of the disease in the majority of patients with advanced cases of neuroendocrine tumors.
When it comes to understanding Earth and our changing environment, space is the place.

The "soil" blanketing the moon's surface isn't actually soil.
