The heterogeneous nature of the neuroendocrine tumors (NET) makes it challenging to find one uniformly applicable management protocol which is especially true for diagnosis. The discovery of the overexpression of somatostatin receptors (SMS-R) on neuroendocrine tumor cells lead to the generalized and rapid acceptance of radiolabeled somatostatin receptor analogs for staging and restaging of NET as well as for Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRNT) using Y-90 and Lu-177 DOTATATE/DOTATOC. In this present work we tried to look in to the effect of PRRNT on the glucose metabolism assessed by F-18 FDG PET/CT and SMS-R density assessed by Ga-68 DOTANOC PET/CT. We observed a complex relationship between the somatostatin receptor expression and glucose metabolism with only 56% (77/138) of the lesions showing match, while the others show mismatch between the receptor status and metabolism. The match between receptor expression and glucose metabolism increases with the grade of NET. In grade 3 NET, there is a concurrence between the changes in glucose metabolism and somatostatin receptor expression. PRRNT was found to be more effective in lesions with higher receptor expression.

Somatostatin receptors (SSTR) are overexpressed in various tumors including neuroendocrine tumors. In-111 Octreoscan or Ga-68 DOTATOC positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) showed these SSTR expressing tumors in whole body of patients. Ga-68 DOTATOC PET/CT has a better sensitivity and resolution than In-111 Octreoscan with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/CT.. The indications of Ga-68 DOTATOC PET/CT are 1) staging: detect sites of primary and metastasis, 2) re-staging: follow-up of patients with known disease to detect residual, recurrent or progressive disease, 3) prognosis & management decisions: determine SSTR status & select patients with SSTR radionuclide therapy, and 4) monitor the response to therapy. Nuclear medicine treatments for neuroendocrine tumors with radioisotope labeling on the somatostatin receptor targeting peptide (peptide receptor radionuclide therapy, PRRT) were conducted in Europe, Australia, and other countries for over 20 years. Eligible patients to be effective to PRRT using Lu-177 DOTATATE can be pre-screened by confirming the expression of somatostatin receptor on tumors using Octreoscan or Ga-68 DOTATOC PET/CT prior to treatment. This pair of molecular targeted treatment and companion diagnostics, so called molecular theranostics makes PRRT a good example for a precision medicine. A multinational clinical trial with the Lu-177 DOTATATE treatment (Lutathera) showed a significant progression free survival over the control group and Ministry of Food and Drug Safety in Korea approved Lutathera. Some doctors are treating patients who are refractory to Lu-177 using Ac-225, an alpha-emitter therapy in Germany and India. The high therapeutic effect of the alpha emitting radionuclides will lead the future of nuclear medicine therapy.

Tumor microenvironment inflammation contributes to the proliferation and survival of malignant cells, angiogenesis, metastasis, subversion of adaptive immunity, and reduced treatment response. We aimed to evaluate the early predictive and prognostic significance of markers of systemic inflammation in patients receiving somatostatin-receptor targeted peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). This retrospective observational cohort study included 33 patients with advanced gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) treated with PRRT. Pretreatment blood-based inflammatory biomarkers, e.g., Creactive protein levels (CRP), white blood cell count (WBC), and absolute neutrophil count (ANC), were documented and inflammation indexes, e.g., neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and Platelet × CRP multiplier (PCM), were calculated. Tumor burden was determined using [68Ga]GaDOTATATE PET/CT before enrollment and every 2 cycles thereafter until progression. Therapy response was assessed using RECIST 1.1, including its volumetric modification. Inflammatory biomarkers and inflammatory indexes demonstrated marked heterogeneity among patients, and were significantly higher in non-responders (e.g., CRP (P < 0.001), ANC (P = 0.002), and PCM (P < 0.001)). Change in whole-body tumor burden after two cycles of PRRT was significantly associated with CRP (P = 0.0157) and NLR (P = 0.0040) in multivariate regression analysis. A cut-off of 2.5 mg/L for CRP (AUC = 0.84, P = 0.001) revealed a significant outcome difference between patients with adversely high vs. low CRP (median PFS 508 days vs. not yet reached (HR = 4.52; 95% CI, 1.27 to 16.18; P = 0.02)). Tumor-driven systemic inflammatory networks may be associated with treatment response, change in tumor burden, and prognosis in patients with GEPNETs receiving PRRT.
