Abstract
A 64-year-old man with pancreatic grade III neuroendocrine carcinoma underwent 68Ga DOTANOC PET/CT scan for staging. The pancreatic lesion, multiple peripancreatic lymph nodes and multiple gross metastases in both hepatic lobes were revealed with intense uptake. After 3 cycles of chemotherapy containing cisplatin and etoposide the primary and metastatic lesions were decreased in size, however showing higher uptake on follow-up 68Ga DOTANOC PET/CT scan. Another biopsy from liver demonstrated a significant decrease in Ki-67 proliferation index from 35 to 1%. The patient received 2 cycles of peptide receptor-targeted radionuclide therapy with 177Lu DOTANOC.
