Diagnostic Technology Advancements for Neuroendocrine Tumor Mapping Resulted in Dramatic Shifts in Access to Theranostics Care
A new study from the Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute found that the introduction of PET-based Gallium-68 DOTATATE/DOTATOC radiotracers for imaging neuroendocrine tumors created substantial differences in patient access during its first four years of use. Compared with the older imaging agent, Indium-111 pentetreotide (Octreoscan(tm)), patients in small-rural areas traveled 134.9 additional miles on average to access Gallium-68 DOTATATE/DOTATOC. By comparison, patients in metropolitan-micropolitan areas traveled only 26.7 additional miles. The study, published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology, analyzed 3,365 claims for neuroendocrine tumor radiotracers.
