Somatostatin receptor expression in lung neuroendocrine tumors – An analysis of Dotatate PET scans
Introduction:
Somatostatin receptor (SSTR) expression in metastatic lung neuroendocrine (carcinoid) tumors has not been well-characterized using modern positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Understanding the degree and uniformity of SSTR expression is important to establish the role of SSTR-targeted treatments, including peptide receptor radiotherapy (PRRT), in lung NETs.

Risk of PRRT-Associated Bowel Obstruction in Patients with Mesenteric/Peritoneal Disease and Potential Role of Corticosteroids in Treatment
Introduction:
Although radiation-induced mesenteritis or peritonitis can potentially exacerbate risk of bowel obstruction, there are no data in the literature on incidence of intestinal obstruction related to peptide receptor radiotherapy (PRRT)
