Lu-DOTATATE is an effective treatment for inoperable metastatic well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. There are no guidelines for patients with terminal renal failure. We present the case of a 74-year-old woman who received different lines of treatment: analogs of somatostatin, chemotherapy, a first series of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT), and finally chemoembolization. Because of persistent hepatic progression, a safe and successful administration of 4 cycles of a second series of PRRT under hemodialysis was administered. Patient was in scintigraphic complete remission at 12 months with normal hematological parameters at 12 and 30 months after PRRT.
