228 Background: The prognostic implications on outcomes of symptomatic presentation of gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) remains unclear. Methods: Patients who underwent curative-intent resection of nonfunctional, well-differentiated GEP NETs from 2000-2014 at a single institution were analyzed. Patients were classified as symptomatic if clinical symptoms were present at diagnosis. Primary end points were distant recurrence-free survival (DRFS) and overall survival (OS). Results: A total of 339pts were identified, of which 208pts (61%) were symptomatic at presentation. Symptomatic presentation was associated with younger age at presentation (55vs59yrs, p = 0.001), higher tumor grade (38vs21%, p = 0.027), LVI (58vs33%, p < 0.001), PNI (53vs30%, p = 0.002), and advanced disease (T3/T4/N1/M1 63vs44%, p = 0.002), but not tumor size (2.6vs2.5cm, p = 0.74). Symptomatic presentation was associated with decreased DRFS but not OS. When accounting for race, tumor size, positive resection margins, presence of metastatic disease, and positive lymph nodes on multivariate analysis (MVA), symptomatic presentation remained independently associated with reduced DRFS (HR 3.51, p = 0.007). On subgroup analysis of patients only with advanced disease (T3/T4/N1/M1), symptomatic presentation was still associated with decreased 3-yr DRFS (67vs79%, p = 0.012), but not OS. On MVA, symptomatic presentation persisted as an independent factor associated with decreased DRFS in patients with advanced disease (HR 2.89, p = 0.014). Conclusions: Symptomatic presentation of GEP NETs is associated with more aggressive pathologic features and worse DRFS than incidentally diagnosed NETs irrespective of tumor size. As our armamentarium of therapeutic agents for NETs expands and improves, trials assessing the value of adjuvant therapy for advanced GEP NETs are needed, and symptomatic presentation may be considered as one inclusion criterion. Following resection, symptomatic presentation should be taken into account when planning follow-up strategies, as these patients may require closer surveillance than their incidentally diagnosed counterparts.

Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) are the most common form of neuroendocrine neoplasia, but there is no current consensus for the sequencing of approved therapies, particularly with respect to peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). This comprehensive review evaluates the data supporting approved therapies for GEP-NETs and recommendations for therapeutic sequencing with a focus on how PRRT currently fits within sequencing algorithms. The current recommendations for PRRT sequencing restrict its use to metastatic, inoperable, progressive midgut NETs, however, this may change with emerging data to suggest PRRT might be beneficial as neoadjuvant therapy for inoperable tumors, is more tolerable than other treatment modalities following first-line standard dose somatostatin analogues, and can be used as salvage therapy after disease relapse following prior successful cycles of PRRT. PRRT has also been shown to reduce tumor burden, improve quality of life, and prolong the time to disease progression in a broad spectrum of patients with GEP-NETs. As the various potential benefits of PRRT in GEP-NET therapy continues to expand, it is necessary to review and critically evaluate our treatment algorithms for GEP-NETs.

Background: We aimed to characterize γ-H2AX and 53BP1 foci formation in patients receiving somatostatin receptor-targeted radioligand therapy, and explored its role for predicting treatment-related hematotoxicity, and treatment response. Methods: A prospective analysis of double-strand break (DSB) markers was performed in 21 patients with advanced gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. γ-H2AX and 53BP1 foci formation were evaluated in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) at baseline, +1 h and +24 h after administration of 7.4 GBq (177Lu)Lu-DOTA-TATE. Hematotoxicity was evaluated using standard hematology. Therapy response was assessed using (68Ga)Ga-DOTA-TATE PET/CT before enrollment and after 2 cycles of PRRT according to the volumetric modification of RECIST 1.1. Results: DSB marker kinetics were heterogeneous among patients. Subclinical hematotoxicity was associated with γ-H2AX and 53BP1 foci formation (e.g., change in platelet count vs change in γ-H2AX+ cells between baseline and +1 h (r = −0.6080; p = 0.0045). Patients showing early development of new metastases had less γ-H2AX (p = 0.0125) and less 53BP1 foci per cell at +1 h (p = 0.0289), and demonstrated a distinct kinetic pattern with an absence of DSB marker decrease at +24 h (γ-H2AX: p = 0.0025; 53BP1: p = 0.0008). Conclusions: Assessment of γ-H2AX and 53BP1 foci formation in PBLs of patients receiving radioligand therapy may hold promise for predicting subclinical hematotoxicity and early treatment response.
