Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate organ-specific response to [177Lu]DOTATATE Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) in patients with small intestine neuroendocrine tumor (SiNET) through [68Ga]DOTATOC PET/CT, and to analyze tumor uptake and functional volume variations at different metastatic sites in relation to disease progression during clinical follow-up after treatment.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 33 metastatic patients. PET/CT were performed pre-treatment (PET0), mid-treatment after two PRRT cycles (PET2), and post-treatment (PET4). SUVmax and somatostatin receptor-expressing tumor volume (SRETV) were measured in liver, lymph node, peritoneum/mesentery, and bone metastases.
Results: Liver metastases showed significant reduction in both SUVmax and SRETV from PET0 to PET4, with early response evident after two PRRT cycles. Nodal lesions exhibited a delayed response, with significant reductions at PET4. Peritoneal and bone metastases showed a continuous decline in SUVmax, but no significant changes in SRETV. Objective response rates were highest in liver metastases after treatment completion with lesser responses in nodal, peritoneal, and bone lesions. At a median follow-up of 24.3 months, 70% of patients experienced disease progression, while 30% did not. Liver metastases showed no significant changes in SUVmax or SRETV regardless of progression. Conversely, in non-progressing patients, peritoneal/mesenteric lesions showed a significant reduction in SUVmax, with unchanged SRETV, and nodal metastases exhibited reduced SRETV. Bone lesions in non-progressing patients showed significant decreases in both SUVmax and SRETV.
Conclusion: [177Lu]DOTATATE PRRT effectively reduces tumor functional activity in patients with SiNETs, with organ-specific responses highlighting the need for personalized treatment strategies to optimize efficacy and minimize toxicity.
期刊介绍:
Well-established as a major journal in today’s rapidly advancing experimental and clinical research areas, Endocrine publishes original articles devoted to basic (including molecular, cellular and physiological studies), translational and clinical research in all the different fields of endocrinology and metabolism. Articles will be accepted based on peer-reviews, priority, and editorial decision. Invited reviews, mini-reviews and viewpoints on relevant pathophysiological and clinical topics, as well as Editorials on articles appearing in the Journal, are published. Unsolicited Editorials will be evaluated by the editorial team. Outcomes of scientific meetings, as well as guidelines and position statements, may be submitted. The Journal also considers special feature articles in the field of endocrine genetics and epigenetics, as well as articles devoted to novel methods and techniques in endocrinology.
Endocrine covers controversial, clinical endocrine issues. Meta-analyses on endocrine and metabolic topics are also accepted. Descriptions of single clinical cases and/or small patients studies are not published unless of exceptional interest. However, reports of novel imaging studies and endocrine side effects in single patients may be considered. Research letters and letters to the editor related or unrelated to recently published articles can be submitted.
Endocrine covers leading topics in endocrinology such as neuroendocrinology, pituitary and hypothalamic peptides, thyroid physiological and clinical aspects, bone and mineral metabolism and osteoporosis, obesity, lipid and energy metabolism and food intake control, insulin, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, hormones of male and female reproduction, adrenal diseases pediatric and geriatric endocrinology, endocrine hypertension and endocrine oncology.
