Background: While the clinical use of radiolabeled somatostatin analogs is well established in neuroendocrine tumors, there is growing interest in expanding their application to other somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2)-expressing cancers. This study investigates the potential utility of SSTR2-targeted theranostics in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: SSTR2 expression in HCC cell lines and clinical samples was evaluated using qRT-PCR, Western blot analysis, and a public dataset.

Manganese-52 is gaining interest as an isotope for PET imaging due to its desirable decay and chemical properties for radiopharmaceutical development. Somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) is significantly overexpressed by neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and is an important target for nuclear imaging and therapy. As an agonist, [Ga]Ga-DOTATATE has demonstrated significant internalization upon interaction with receptor ligands, whereas [Ga]Ga-DOTA-JR11(as an antagonist) exhibits limited internalization but better pharmacokinetics and increased tumor uptake.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the biodistribution and radiation dosimetry of 68Ga-DATA5m LM4 in patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
Patients And Methods: Eight patients (5 females and 3 males) with various gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors were included in the study. Each patient underwent 3 whole-body PET scans at 10, 60, and 120 minutes after receiving an IV injection of approximately 162.

Purpose: Terbium-149 is a short-lived α-particle emitter, potentially useful for tumor-targeted therapy. The aim of this study was to investigate terbium-149 in combination with the somatostatin receptor (SSTR) agonist DOTATATE and the SSTR antagonist DOTA-LM3. The radiopeptides were evaluated to compare their therapeutic efficacy in vitro and in vivo.

Gallium-68-DOTA-D-phe1-try3-octreotide (Ga-DOTATOC) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is a crucial diagnostic tool for neuroendocrine tumors (NET). Its accuracy is influenced by radiochemical purity and patient preparation. We present two cases where unexpected radiotracer uptake in Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT imaging was observed.
