Abstract
The present report describes the history of a 58-year-old woman with a rapidly progressing neuroendocrine pancreatic tumor (initially G2) presenting with extensive liver, bone, and lymph node metastases. Previous treatments included chemotherapy, hemithyroidectomy for right lobe metastasis, Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) with [177Lu]Lu-DOTATATE, Lanreotide, Everolimus, and liver embolization. Due to severe disease progression, after a liver biopsy revealing tumor grade G3, PRRT with the somatostatin receptor antagonist LM3 was initiated. [68Ga]GaDOTA-LM3 PET/CT showed intense tracer uptake in the liver, pancreatic tumor, lymph nodes, and bone metastases. Three TANDEM-PRRT cycles using [177Lu]LuDOTA-LM3 and [225Ac]AcDOTA-LM3, administered concurrently, resulted in significant improvement, notably in liver metastases, hepatomegaly reduction, the complete regression of bone and lymph node metastases, and primary tumor improvement. Partial remission was confirmed by positron emission tomography/computed tomography, chest-abdomen-pelvis contrast-enhanced computed tomography, and magnetic resonance of the abdomen, with marked clinical improvement in pain, energy levels, and quality of life, enabling full resumption of physical activity.
