Abstract
Abstract: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare cancers with heterogeneous histologies, response to treatments, and prognoses. Majority of these cancers originate in the gastrointestinal tract and metastasize to the liver. We report the cases of 5 patients with low-grade NET disease with rare metastases to the choroids. Two of the patients were treated with peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (lutetium 177 [ 177 Lu]). This is the first report confirming peptide radionuclide therapy safety in patients with low-grade NET with ocular metastases.
期刊介绍：
Pancreas provides a central forum for communication of original works involving both basic and clinical research on the exocrine and endocrine pancreas and their interrelationships and consequences in disease states. This multidisciplinary, international journal covers the whole spectrum of basic sciences, etiology, prevention, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and surgical and medical management of pancreatic diseases, including cancer.
