Absorbed Dose-Response Relationship in Patients with Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors Treated with [Lu]Lu-DOTATATE: One Step Closer to Personalized Medicine.

[Lu]Lu-DOTATATE has been approved for progressive and inoperable gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) that overexpress somatostatin receptors. The absorbed doses by limiting organs and tumors can be quantified by serial postinfusion scintigraphy measurements of the γ-emissions from Lu. The objective of this work was to explore how postinfusion [Lu]Lu-DOTATATE dosimetry could influence clinical management by predicting treatment efficacy (tumor shrinkage and survival) and toxicity.
