We present the case of a 77 year old male patient with metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (NET). The patient was initially treated by extensive surgical resection that however, led to severe complications with delayed recovery. During follow-up, a number of new liver metastases were detected, one of which was in segment I with impending compression of the inferior vena cava. Due to age and general condition of the patient, instead of further surgical treatment, the patient received four cycles of Lu-DOTATOC resulting in an overall partial response with successful tumor reduction in liver segment I, resolving an impending compression of vena cava.
我们报告一例77岁男性转移性胰腺神经内分泌肿瘤(NET)患者的病例。该患者最初接受了广泛的手术切除,但术后出现严重并发症,恢复延迟。在随访期间,发现了多处新的肝转移灶,其中一个位于Ⅰ段,即将压迫下腔静脉。鉴于患者的年龄和一般状况,患者未接受进一步的手术治疗,而是接受了四个周期的镥-奥曲肽治疗,总体上部分缓解,成功缩小了肝Ⅰ段的肿瘤,解除了即将发生的腔静脉压迫。
