Abstract
We present a case of a 68-year-old man with metastatic small bowel neuroendocrine tumor who underwent 4 cycles of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy with 177 Lu-DOTATATE. For his first 3 cycles, therapy was performed approximately 4 weeks after his last dose of octreotide LAR. Because of miscommunication in scheduling, his fourth cycle was performed only 48 hours after his last full dose of octreotide LAR. Despite this, we found that the tumoral uptake was not reduced at all, which may add to the increasing evidence on the nonnecessity of stopping somatostatin analogs before peptide receptor radionuclide therapy.
