Brief Summary

Eighteen patients with malignant neuroendocrine tumors were treated with 131I-MIBG. Health insurance has covered 131I-MIBG treatment during the study. The study was terminated in the middle because all scheduled participants requested to discontinue participation. In addition, no participant asked for 131I-MIBG treatment at a higher dose. We evaluated data obtained up to study discontinuation. Catecholamines and their metabolites were considered decreased or stable. No serious adverse effects were observed.
