Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumours

Background: The incidence of pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumours (pNETs) has increased considerably in the last few decades. The characteristic features of this tumour and the development of new investigative and therapeutic methods had a great impact on its management. Objective: The aim of this review is to investigate the outcome of Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) in the treatment of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours. Methods: A comprehensive literature search strategy was used based on two databases (SCOPUS, and PubMed). We considered all studies published in English, evaluating the use of PRRT (177Luteciuim- DOTA-conjugated peptides and 90Yetrium- DOTA- conjugated peptides) in the treatment of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours as a standalone entity or as a subgroup within the wider category of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumours (GEP NETs). Results: PRRT was found to be an effective treatment modality as a monotherapy or in combination with other therapies in the treatment of non-operable and metastatic pNETs where other options are limited. Complete response was reported to be between 2-6% while partial response was achieved in up to 60% of cases. Survival analysis was also impressive. Progression Free Survival (PFS) reached a mean of 34 months and Overall Survival (OS) of 53 months. PRRT also proved to improve patients’ Quality of Life (QoL). Acute and sub-acute side effects like nephrotoxicity and haematotoxicity are usually mild and reversible. Conclusion: PRRT is well tolerated and effective treatment option for non-operable and/or metastatic pNETs. Side effects are usually mild and reversible. Larger randomized controlled trails need to be done to compare PRRT with other treatment modalities and to provide more detailed guidelines regarding patient selections, the choice of PRRT, follow up and response assessment to maximum potential benefit.

The heterogeneous nature of the neuroendocrine tumors (NET) makes it challenging to find one uniformly applicable management protocol which is especially true for diagnosis. The discovery of the overexpression of somatostatin receptors (SMS-R) on neuroendocrine tumor cells lead to the generalized and rapid acceptance of radiolabeled somatostatin receptor analogs for staging and restaging of NET as well as for Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRNT) using Y-90 and Lu-177 DOTATATE/DOTATOC. In this present work we tried to look in to the effect of PRRNT on the glucose metabolism assessed by F-18 FDG PET/CT and SMS-R density assessed by Ga-68 DOTANOC PET/CT. We observed a complex relationship between the somatostatin receptor expression and glucose metabolism with only 56% (77/138) of the lesions showing match, while the others show mismatch between the receptor status and metabolism. The match between receptor expression and glucose metabolism increases with the grade of NET. In grade 3 NET, there is a concurrence between the changes in glucose metabolism and somatostatin receptor expression. PRRNT was found to be more effective in lesions with higher receptor expression.

The incidence and prevalence of neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are on the rise. Although NETs are a heterogeneous group of tumours, they have some similar properties, for example, that they can concentrate neuroamines and tend to have a high degree of somatostatin receptor (SSR) expression. These mechanisms can be exploited and this article discusses the important role of radionculide imaging and radionculide therapy in the management of NETs based on these mechanisms. This article reviews the current literature and discusses the role of radionuclide imaging in NETs both in terms of SSR imaging and neuroamine (metaiodobenzylguanidine [MIBG]) imaging. We discuss state-of- the-art 68Ga-radiopeptide imaging and indications for it use. We also discuss the role of 18F-FDG and other tracers in the management of NETs. The second half of the article focuses on radiotargeted treatment of NETs, discussing I-131 MIBG therapy and focussing on the emergence of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy. We discuss the clinical results, toxicities and patient selection for PRRT.
