#4666 Merkel cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin: High response rates to short course palliative radiotherapy – Typical clinical scenarios

Introduction: Merkel cell carcinomas (MCC) are a rare, aggressive skin neuroendocrine carcinomas, with peak incidence in the elderly. MCC often presents as a firm, red/purple painless nodule with a short history of increasing size. Surgery is considered the 1st line treatment but elderly patients, in particular, have comorbidities which may preclude radical surgery requiring reconstruction. In advanced MCC, immunotherapy (IO) is 1st line systemic treatment. Chemotherapy is used 2nd line or if contraindications for IO but can be challenging in an elderly population. There may be an emerging role for PRRT due to the presence of somatostatin receptors on MCC. Radiotherapy (RT) can be used for non-surgical candidates, or those with unresectable or metastatic disease. Adjuvant post-operative irradiation (PORT) may provide additional benefit in risk reduction and improves local control.

#4593 Excellent response to Ac-225 DOTATATE therapy in a patient with small cell lung cancer

Introduction: Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is a validated treatment for patients with NETs overexpressing somatostatin receptors (SSTR). IHC analysis indicates that up to 50% of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) tumours are SSTR2 positive and thus can be targeted by SSR imaging and PRRT. Therapy with α-emitting radionuclides, such as Ac225, may offer several advantages over β-emitters by having higher energy transfer and more effective cancer cell death.

#4561 Prognostic value of pre-therapeutic and interim SSTR PET in patients with GI-NET receiving peptide receptor radionuclide therapy

Introduction: Baseline and interim (after 2 cycles) somatostatin receptor (SSTR)-directed PET/CTs are essential in patients with gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumours (GI-NET) undergoing peptide radioreceptor therapy (PRRT).
