#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.

#4644 First results of peptide-receptor radionuclide therapy in the Russian population of patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms

Introduction: Peptide-receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) has demonstrated its efficacy and safety in a number of clinical trials and has become widely used in the treatment of patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) expressing somatostatin receptors.

#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.

#4582 Potential significance of individual dosimetry of radionuclide therapy (RLT) using [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE or mixture of [177Lu/90Y]-DOTA-TATE in NET therapy

Introduction: RTL targeted somatostatin receptors is increasingly available. Individual dosimetry performed during RLT of NET may enable to achieve better results of therapy with maintaining its safety.

#4540 Retrospective analysis of somatostatin receptors expression in cohort of thoracic neuroendocrine neoplasms with immunohistochemistry method or PET/CT Ga68 DOTA-TATE

Introduction: Somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) expression in cohort of thoracic neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) is still not fully described. We attempted to evaluate the SSTR expression by IHC and PET/CT with Ga68 DOTA-TATE, as well as the sensitivity of both methods.
