Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) constitute a diverse group of cancers characterized by heterogeneous biological hallmarks and variable behaviour, from slow-growing and indolent tumours to aggressive and rapidly fatal cancers. Somatostatin analogues (SSAs) provide the first line of their systemic treatment. In this paper we propose a scheduling optimization when SSAs are combined with peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT).
