The heterogeneous nature of the neuroendocrine tumors (NET) makes it challenging to find one uniformly applicable management protocol which is especially true for diagnosis. The discovery of the overexpression of somatostatin receptors (SMS-R) on neuroendocrine tumor cells lead to the generalized and rapid acceptance of radiolabeled somatostatin receptor analogs for staging and restaging of NET as well as for Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRNT) using Y-90 and Lu-177 DOTATATE/DOTATOC. In this present work we tried to look in to the effect of PRRNT on the glucose metabolism assessed by F-18 FDG PET/CT and SMS-R density assessed by Ga-68 DOTANOC PET/CT. We observed a complex relationship between the somatostatin receptor expression and glucose metabolism with only 56% (77/138) of the lesions showing match, while the others show mismatch between the receptor status and metabolism. The match between receptor expression and glucose metabolism increases with the grade of NET. In grade 3 NET, there is a concurrence between the changes in glucose metabolism and somatostatin receptor expression. PRRNT was found to be more effective in lesions with higher receptor expression.

Abstract Purpose Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with 177Lu-DOTA0-Tyr3-octreotate (177Lu-DOTATATE) is one of the most reliable treatments for unresectable, progressive neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) with somatostatin receptor expression. We have, for the first time, reported the results of the tolerability, safety, pharmacokinetics, dosimetry, and efficacy of this treatment for Japanese patients with NET. Methods Patients with unresectable, somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS)-positive NETs were enrolled in this phase I clinical trial. They were treated with 29.6 GBq of 177Lu-DOTATATE (four doses of 7.4 GBq) combined with amino acid solution infusion plus octreotide long-acting release (LAR) 30 mg. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the tolerability, safety, pharmacokinetics, and dosimetry of a single administration of this treatment in patients with SRS-positive NETs. Results Six Japanese patients (three men and three women; mean age 61.5 years; range 50–70 years) with SRS-positive unresectable NETs were recruited. 177Lu-DOTATATE was eliminated from the blood in a two-phase manner. Cumulative urinary excretion of radioactivity was 60.1% (range 49.0%–69.8%) within the initial 6 h. The cumulative renal absorbed dose for 29.6 GBq of 177Lu-DOTATATE was 16.8 Gy (range 12.0–21.2 Gy), and the biological effective dose was 17.0 Gy (range 12.2–21.5 Gy). Administration of 177Lu-DOTATATE was well tolerated, with no dose-limiting toxicities. Grade 3 lymphopenia occurred in two (33.3%) cases, but there were no other severe toxicities. Four patients achieved partial response (objective response rate, 66.7%), one patient had stable disease, and one patient had progressive disease. Conclusion PRRT with 177Lu-DOTATATE was well-tolerated and showed good outcomes in Japanese patients with unresectable NETs. Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy, 177Lu-DOTA0-Tyr3-octreotate .

Tumor microenvironment inflammation contributes to the proliferation and survival of malignant cells, angiogenesis, metastasis, subversion of adaptive immunity, and reduced treatment response. We aimed to evaluate the early predictive and prognostic significance of markers of systemic inflammation in patients receiving somatostatin-receptor targeted peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). This retrospective observational cohort study included 33 patients with advanced gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) treated with PRRT. Pretreatment blood-based inflammatory biomarkers, e.g., Creactive protein levels (CRP), white blood cell count (WBC), and absolute neutrophil count (ANC), were documented and inflammation indexes, e.g., neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and Platelet × CRP multiplier (PCM), were calculated. Tumor burden was determined using [68Ga]GaDOTATATE PET/CT before enrollment and every 2 cycles thereafter until progression. Therapy response was assessed using RECIST 1.1, including its volumetric modification. Inflammatory biomarkers and inflammatory indexes demonstrated marked heterogeneity among patients, and were significantly higher in non-responders (e.g., CRP (P < 0.001), ANC (P = 0.002), and PCM (P < 0.001)). Change in whole-body tumor burden after two cycles of PRRT was significantly associated with CRP (P = 0.0157) and NLR (P = 0.0040) in multivariate regression analysis. A cut-off of 2.5 mg/L for CRP (AUC = 0.84, P = 0.001) revealed a significant outcome difference between patients with adversely high vs. low CRP (median PFS 508 days vs. not yet reached (HR = 4.52; 95% CI, 1.27 to 16.18; P = 0.02)). Tumor-driven systemic inflammatory networks may be associated with treatment response, change in tumor burden, and prognosis in patients with GEPNETs receiving PRRT.

Background: Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is considered a morphologic precursor of invasive cancer and is often treated with adjuvant whole-breast irradiation and endocrine therapy, as if it were an invasive cancer. Our aim was to provide further support for treatment de-escalation or enrollment of such patients in active surveillance trials. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data on patients with conservatively treated primary DCIS subsequently diagnosed with ipsilateral invasive breast cancer (IBC) at 2 comprehensive breast cancer centers. From their merged databases, we identified 50 cases with full details on tumor grade, hormone receptor expression, and HER2 amplification, for both the primary DCIS and the corresponding IBC, and we assessed the similarities and differences between the two. Results: Distributions of hormone receptors were similar in primary DCIS and IBC, while high-grade and HER2-positive status was less common in IBC than in primary DCIS. The positivity for estrogen receptors (ER) and well-differentiated or moderately differentiated morphology in the primary DCIS persisted in 90% of the matching IBC. Changes in progesterone receptor expression were slightly more common than those in ER expression. Overall consistency for the luminal-like receptors subtype was found in 90% of cases. Conclusion: The high consistency between the features of primary DCIS and those of subsequent IBC (in the rare but not negligible cases of local failure) should be borne in mind when considering the therapeutic options. Treatment de-escalation and accrual of patients for active surveillance trials could be appropriate for luminal-like precursors.
