Abstract
Objectives: Ac]Ac-DOTATATE in patients with grade 1/2 metastatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Methods: Ga] Ga-DOTATATE positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) images and the RECIST 1.1 criteria. Results: Ga]Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT (n=9), 11% (n=1) had progressive disease, 44.4% (n=4) had stable disease, and 44.4% (n=4) had a partial response. The disease control rate was 89% (n=8). The median progression-free survival estimated according to Kaplan-Meier analysis was 12 months. Conclusion: Lu] Lu-DOTATATE-refractory NETs. However, prospective studies are needed to determine the impact of treatment on overall survival and to uncover potential side effects.
