Abstract

A 64-year-old man with pancreatic grade III neuroendocrine carcinoma underwent Ga-68 DOTANOC PET-CT scan for staging. The pancreatic lesion, multiple peripancreatic lymph nodes and multiple gross metastases in both hepatic lobes were revealed with intense uptake. After 3 cycles of chemotherapy containing cisplatin and etoposide the primary and metastatic lesions were decreased in size, however showing higher uptake on follow-up Ga-68 DOTANOC PET-CT scan. Another biopsy from liver demonstrated a significant decrease in Ki-67 proliferation index from 35% to 1%. The patient received 2 cycles of peptide receptor-targeted radionuclide therapy with Lu-177 DOTANOC.

Resumen

Se realizó una PET-TC DOTANOC con Ga-68 a un varón de 64 años con tumor neuroendocrino de grado III, para estadificación. La lesión pancreática, múltiples ganglios peripancreáticos, y diversas metástasis de gran tamaño en ambos lóbulos hepáticos se mostraron con captación intensa. Tras tres ciclos de quimioterapia con cisplatino y etopósido, el tumor primario y las metástasis disminuyeron de tamaño, aunque se reveló una mayor captación en la PET-TC DOTANOC con Ga-68 de seguimiento. Otra biopsia hepática reflejó un descenso significativo del índice de proliferación de Ki-67, del 35 al 1%. El paciente recibió dos ciclos de terapia con radionúclidos de receptores peptídicos con Lu-177 DOTANOC.
