Patients with advanced midgut neuroendocrine tumors who have had disease progression during first-line somatostatin analogue therapy limited therapeutic options. This randomized, controlled trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of lutetium-177 (177Lu)–Dotatate in patients advanced, progressive, somatostatin-receptor–positive tumors.

Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer remains fatal despite recent advances. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is highly expressed in metastatic cancer. Lutetium-177 (177Lu)–PSMA-617 a radioligand therapy that delivers beta-particle radiation to PSMA-expressing cells and the surrounding microenvironment.

With the growing use of 177Lu-DOTATATE peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT), there are many unanswered questions regarding patient selection. In this document, we review literature on in neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) different primary origin, discuss issues

LBA4 Background: Despite recent therapeutic advances, metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) remains invariably fatal. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is highly expressed in mCRPC lesions. 177 Lu-PSMA-617 a targeted radioligand therapy that delivers ß-particle radiation to PSMA-expressing cells and surrounding microenvironment. Method: VISION was an international, randomized, open-label phase III study evaluating men with PSMA-positive previously treated...

High-grade neuroendocrine neoplasms are a rare disease entity and account for approximately 10% of all neoplasms. Because their rarity, there is an overall lack prospectively collected data available to advise practitioners as how best manage these patients. As result, practices largely based on expert opinion. Recently, distinction was made between well-differentiated high-grade (G3) tumors poorly differentiated carcinomas, with this, pathologic details, appropriate imaging treatment have...

Although radiation-induced mesenteritis or peritonitis can potentially exacerbate the risk of bowel obstruction, there are no data in literature on incidence intestinal obstruction related to peptide receptor radionuclide therapy. Methods: The records all patients treated with 177Lu-DOTATATE at Moffitt Cancer Center between April 2018 and October 2019 were evaluated. number who developed within 3 mo a treatment was divided by total preexisting peritoneal mesenteric disease. Management...

Somatostatin receptor (SSTR) expression in metastatic lung neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) has not been well characterized using PET imaging. Understanding the degree and uniformity of SSTR is important to establish role SSTR-targeted treatments NETs. <b>Methods:</b> A retrospective institutional review patients with NETs who underwent DOTATATE imaging from March 2017 February 2023 was performed. <b>Results:</b> In total, 48 <sup>68</sup>Ga- or <sup>64</sup>Cu-DOTATATE were identified. Four had...

New effective therapies are greatly needed for metastatic uveal melanoma, which has a very poor prognosis with median survival of less than 1 y. The melanocortin receptor (MC1R) is expressed in 94% melanoma metastases, and MC1R-specific ligand (MC1RL) high affinity selectivity MC1R was previously developed. <b>Methods:</b> <sup>225</sup>Ac-DOTA-MC1RL conjugate synthesized radiochemical yield purity tested vitro biostability cytotoxicity cells, the lanthanum-DOTA-MC1RL analog binding...

5001 Background: In the phase 3 VISION trial, targeted radioligand therapy with lutetium ( 177 Lu) vipivotide tetraxetan ([ Lu]Lu-PSMA-617; Lu-PSMA-617) significantly prolonged radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) and overall (OS) when added to standard of care (SoC) in patients advanced prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Benefits were consistent across most pre-specified subgroups. this post hoc exploratory...

Most well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) express high levels of somatostatin receptors, particularly subtypes 2 and 5. Somatostatin analogs (SSAs) bind to receptors are used for palliation hormonal syndromes control tumor growth.
