Abstract
We present a 67-year-old man with inoperable metastatic G3 NET of the pancreas. The lesions were intensely positive in [ 68 Ga]Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT and only weakly positive in the supplementary [ 18 F]-FDG PET/CT. Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with [ 177 Lu]Lu-DOTA-octreotate, after longstanding efficacy with repetitive retreatments over 7 years, eventually resulted only in disease stabilization without partial regression of lesions. After switching PRRT to the somatostatin receptor antagonist [ 177 Lu]Lu-DOTA-LM3, a marked therapy response was observed, in remarkable contrast to the stable disease effect of 177 Lu-octreotate seen right before. This interesting image illustrates the superior therapeutic efficacy of somatostatin antagonist PRRT over agonist-based PRRT.
