Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of 177 Lu-DOTATATE in patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and extensive bone metastases, that is, more than 50% of the skeleton involved.

Method: A single-center retrospective analysis was performed in 30 patients (13 women and 17 men, mean age, 60 years; range, 35-77 years) undergoing 177 Lu-DOTATATE therapy. Patients had progressive metastatic NETs with extensive skeletal metastases (>50% skeletal involvement seen on baseline 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT).

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Lu-DOTATATE therapy in advanced metastatic disease. A retrospective analysis of 395 patients (180 female, 215 males, mean age 62) with progressive metastatic neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) who were treated with Lu-DOTATATE was performed. Overall, 115 patients had less than four cycles and 280 completed four cycles of treatment.

Our purpose was to assess the efficacy and safety of Lu-DOTATATE in neuroendocrine tumor patients with reduced renal function. A single-center retrospective analysis was performed on 33 patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m Of these, 26 had chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3a (eGFR, 45-60 mL/min/1.
