“…new applications of PRRT may include the neoadjuvant use of PRRT for PNETs,
as suggested by a few case reports and retrospective series in which previously unresectable PNETs could be successfully
operated after PRRT”
B.V., male, 53 y.
✓ May 2014: diagnosis.
✓ Jun Oct 2014: CDDP-DTIC-CAPE x 3 + 3 cycles PR.
✓ Jan Jun 2015: experimental 177Lu-DOTATATE-PRRT (4 cycles, 500 mCi) “cold” SSA.
✓ October 2015: PR with resolution of the portal involvement. A short stenosis of the SMV remains, conditioning collateral vessels.
Surgery now?
Wait for best response?
