Successful Repeated Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapies in Renal Neuroendocrine Tumor With Osseous Metastasis

Clin Nucl Med. 2016 Dec;41(12):977-979. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000001386.

Abstract

Renal neuroendocrine tumor (NET) is an extremely rarely occurring disease. The sporadic reports in the literature are mostly case reports, or less commonly small studies. In cases of metastatic disease from renal NET, there are no established therapies. We are reporting our experience with a patient with extensive osseous infiltration of a renal NET, who was successfully treated with peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) using Lu-DOTATATE. In a period of 10 years, the patient underwent in total 12 cycles of PRRT with a cumulative dose of 81 GBq. All therapies were unproblematic and well tolerated.
