Evaluation of a PACAP Peptide Analogue Labeled with (68)Ga Using Two Different Chelating Agents. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: The authors have conjugated chelating agents (DOTA and NODAGA) with a peptide (pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide [PACAP] analogue) that has a high affinity for VPAC1 receptors expressed on cancer cells.

The next generation of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy [PDF]
Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-[Tyr3]octreotate has been successfully developed in the last decades for the treatment of neuroendocrine neoplasms. However, different methods to improve the objective response rate and survival are under investigation.

Iodine-131 labelled octreotide: Not an option for somatostatin receptor therapy [PDF]
Gamma-emitting radiopeptides are useful for scintigraphy of tumours on the basis of receptor binding. Likewise, β-emitting radiopeptides may be used in radionuclide therapy of such tumours.

Treatment options for PNET liver metastases. a systematic review [PDF]
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are rare pancreatic neoplasms. About 40-80% of patients with PNET are metastatic at presentation, usually involving the liver (40-93%). Liver metastasis represents the most significant prognostic factor.

Relationships between uptake of [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TATE and absorbed dose in [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE therapy
Background Somatostatin receptor 68Ga PET imaging is standard for evaluation of a patient’s suitability for 177Lu peptide receptor radionuclide therapy of neuroendocrine tumours (NETs).

Demonstration of focal physiologic in-vivo somatostatin receptor expression in the caput epididymis of the testes on 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT and 177Lu-DOTATATE post-therapy whole body scintigraphy [PDF]
We present the case of a 60-year-old man with metastatic neuroendocrine tumor of the ileum following ileal resection, being evaluated for 177Lu-based peptide receptor radionuclide therapy.

Preclinical animal research on therapy dosimetry with dual isotopes [PDF]
Preclinical research into radionuclide therapies based on radiation dosimetry will enable the use of any LET-equivalent radionuclide. Radiation dose and dose rate have significant influence on dose effects in the tumour depending on its radiation ...

Practical Guidance on Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy
Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) have been successfully used for the past 20 years to target metastatic or inoperable neuroendocrine tumors expressing the somatostatin receptors. Both prospective and retrospective studies indicate that patients receiving PRRT show significantly high objective responses, leading to longer survival and ...
