Objective: To perform a meta-analysis of the efficacy and safety about Lu-DOTATATE therapy for advanced/metastatic pNETs based on the current clinical evidence.

Methods: This systematic review follows the PRISMA guideline. Search PubMed, Medline, EMBASE and CNKI, VIP, Wanfang databases, from establishment to June 2022, on the study of Lu-DOTATATE for advanced/metastatic pNETs, the primary endpoint was to evaluate the treatment effect through DRRs and DCRs. Secondary endpoint included assessment of OS, PFS, and treatment-related adverse events across all studies. Two researchers conducted literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Meta-analysis was performed using stata16.0 software, and the data were merged and displayed using forest graphs.

Results: A total of 5 studies, 174 patients, on Lu-DOTATATE for advanced/metastatic pNETs were included. The pools of DRRs and DCRs were 24% (95% CI: 15%~32%) and 77% (95% CI: 62%~92%), respectively. The pool of OS was 48.78 months (95% CI: 41~56.57 months) and the pool of PFS was 21.59 months (95% CI: 17.65~25.53 months). In all studies, the most common side effect of treatment was hematological toxicity. In 174 patients, hematological toxicity of grade III accounted for 4.0% (7/174), and only 4.0% (7/174) and 1.0% (2/174) of patients had mild nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity. Gastrointestinal adverse reactions in 3% (6/174), nausea in 2% (3/174), superior vena cava occlusion in 0.5% (1/174).

Conclusion: Lu-DOTATATE is effective and safe for advanced/metastatic pNETs, which can delay the progression of the disease, may improve patients' survival, and has low treatment-related toxicity and high safety. However, its efficacy and safety need to be further evaluated in high-quality, multicenter randomized controlled trials in the future.

Purpose: This study was designed to assess the computed tomography maximum (CTmax) value on pretherapeutic arterial phase computed tomography (APCT) images to predict pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (pNETs) recurrence and clarify its role in predicting the outcome of tumour therapy.

Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 250 surgical patients and 24 nonsurgical patients with sunitinib-based treatment in our hospital from 2008 to 2019. CT images were assessed, the maximum value was defined as "CTmax," and recurrence-free survival (RFS) or progression-free survival (PFS) was compared between a high-CTmax group and a low-CTmax group among patients who underwent surgical resection or nonsurgical, sunitinib-based treatment according to the CTmax cutoff value.

Background: Hyperactivation of mTOR pathway and angiogenesis have been implicated in the pathogenesis of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Everolimus, an oral inhibitor of mTOR, and sunitinib, an antiangiogenic drug, are effective targeted therapies approved to treat locally advanced/metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs). Most pNETs are sporadic and mutations in genes involved directly or indirectly in mTOR pathway regulation have been implicated, including somatic mutation in MEN1 in 44% of cases.

Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare, locally aggressive, malignant neoplasm originating in the olfactory epithelium in the nasal vault. The recurrence rate of ONB remains high and there are no specific treatment guidelines for recurrent/metastatic ONBs. This study retrospectively evaluated 23 ONB samples profiled at Caris Life Sciences (Phoenix, Arizona) using DNA sequencing (Sanger/NGS [Illumina], n = 15) and gene fusions (Archer FusionPlex, n = 6), whole genome RNA microarray (HumanHT-12 v4 beadChip, Illumina, n = 4), gene copy number assays (chromogenic and fluorescent in situ hybridization), and immunohistochemistry.

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) are rare, slow-growing cancers. Optimal treatment of advanced pNETs is unclear. The aim of this study was to examine treatment patterns and preferences among an academic tertiary medical center and community-based oncology practices.
