Abstract

A patient with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A syndrome who had exhausted several surgeries and radiotherapy was referred to nuclear medicine department for theranostic approaches. [68Ga]-DOTATATE PET/CT and [131I]I-mIBG SPECT/CT were performed, but the degree of uptake was insufficient for using the treatment companion of these tracers. Finally, 1 year later, [68Ga]-FAPI-46 PET/CT showed progressive disease with metastases to the lung, liver, bone, and lymph nodes with intense [68Ga]-FAPI-46 uptake. Treatment with [177Lu]Lu-FAPI-46 was done, and the patient tolerated treatment and showed evidence of clinical improvement following therapy.
