Thor Halfdanarson: Functional imaging in neuroendocrine neoplasms

Thor Halfdanarson, Medical Oncologist at Mayo Clinic, shared a post on X about a paper by Odeta Islam et al. published in Endocrine-Related Cancer Journal:

“Functional imaging in NECs and much more… Check out this excellent paper. Lots of goodies in here such as >90% of NECs and G3 NETs FDG PET pos. Also, 66% of NECs pos on SSTR PET. What does that mean? The SSTR is not (yet) a good NEC target.

So far, PRRT has not been shown to be effective in NECs but is highly effective in G3 NETs (NETTER-2). Can we somehow use the presence of the SSTR to target NECs, maybe combining PRRT (alpha better than beta?) with ICIs? What do you think, Timon Vandamme, Willem Lybaert?”

Authors: Odeta Islam, Kevin Sarti, Lise Verbruggen, Ivan Borbath, Timon Vandamme et al.
