Risk of PRRT-Associated Bowel Obstruction in Patients with Mesenteric/Peritoneal Disease and Potential Role of Corticosteroids in Treatment
#2753
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)
Aim(s): To evaluate risk of PRRT-associated bowel obstruction and assess treatment strategies
Materials and methods: Records of all patients treated with 177-Lutetium-dotatate at the Moffitt Cancer Center between 4/2018 and 10/2019 were evaluated. The number of patients who developed bowel obstruction within 3 months of a treatment cycle was divided by the total number of patients with preexisting peritoneal or mesenteric disease. Management strategies and outcomes were evaluated
