NCIt synonyms : Yttrium Y 90 SMT 487; Yttrium Y 90-DOTA-Tyr3-Octreotide; Yttrium Y 90 -DOTATOC; 90Y-DOTA-3-Tyr-Octreotide; Yttrium Y 90-DOTA-3-tyrosine-octreotide;
NCIt related terms : EDOTREOTIDE YTTRIUM Y-90; yttrium Y 90 edotreotide;
NCIt definition : A radioconjugate consisting of the octreotide derivative edotreotide labeled with
yttrium 90 (Y-90) with potential radiotherapeutic uses. Similar to octreotide, yttrium
Y 90-edotreotide binds to somatostatin receptors (SSTRs), especially type 2 receptors,
present on the cell membranes of many types of neuroendocrine tumor cells, delivering
tissue-specific, beta-emitting nuclide Y-90-mediated cytotoxicity to SSTR-positive
cells. Yttrium Y 90-edotreotide is produced by substituting tyrosine for phenylalanine
at the 3 position of the somatostatin analogue octreotide and chelating the substituted
octreotide to Y-90 via dodecanetetraacetic acid (DOTA).;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A substance being studied in the treatment of some types of cancer. Yttrium
Y 90 edotreotide contains yttrium Y 90 (a radioactive form of the metal yttrium) attached
to a molecule that binds to certain types of neuroendocrine tumors (tumors that come
from cells that release hormones). The radioactivity from yttrium Y 90 may kill the
cancer cells.;
