Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess receptor expression in metastatic differentiated thyroid carcinoma patients with progressive elevated thyroglobulin and negative iodine scintigraphy, we used 68 Ga-DOTATATE [Gallium-68 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA)-octreotate (DOTATATE)] (Krenning's score) and 68 Ga-PSMA-11 (Gallium-68 prostate-specific membrane antigen-11) PET-computed tomography (CT) [molecular imaging prostate-specific membrane antigen (miPSMA) score]. Patients with Krenning's score 3 and above and miPSMA score 2 and above were considered to determine the incidence of patients, who would qualify for treatment with 177 Lu-DOTATATE/PSMA [Lutetium-177 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA)-octreotate (DOTATATE)/prostate-specific membrane antigen]-based therapy. In addition, we compared 68 Ga-DOTATATE and 68 Ga-PSMA-11 PET-CT with 2-deoxy-2-[F-18]fluoroglucose ( 18 F-FDG) PET-CT (using maximum standardized uptake value).

However, there is scarce data on feasibility and safety in resource limited setting. The objective was to assess compliance with ERP and its impact on postoperative outcomes and return to intended oncological treatment (RIOT).
