Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) using radiolabelled somatostatin analogues is a treatment option for patients with disseminated neuroendocrine tumours (NET). The aim of the study was the evaluation of the role of [¹⁸F]FDG PET/CT in predicting response, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) after tandem therapy [⁹⁰Y]Y/[¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-DOTATATE.
Seventy-five patients with histopathologically proven NET G1 and G2 were included in the study. Before treatment [⁶⁸Ga]Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT and [¹⁸F]FDG PET/CT was performed. Patients were treated with [⁹⁰Y]Y/[¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-DOTATATE (1:1) with mixed amino-acid infusion for kidney protection.
Progression-free survival was 22.2 months for [¹⁸F]FDG-positive patients and 59.3 months for [¹⁸F]FDG-negative patients (p = 0.003). The OS from diagnosis (OS-D) and from the start of PRRT (OS-T) was not reached in [¹⁸F]FDG-negative patients, and in [¹⁸F]FDG-positive patients it was 71.8 months and 55.8 months, respectively. The observed overall one-year survival in [¹⁸F]FDG-positive vs. [¹⁸F]FDG-negative patients was 96.8% vs. 99.1%, two-year survival was 88.9% vs. 96%, and five-year survival was 58.8% vs. 88%, respectively. The one-year and two-year risk of progression was 15%vs. 58.9% in [¹⁸F]FDG-positive patients and 11% vs. 32% in [18F]FDG-negative patients. The objective response rate (ORR) [¹⁸F]FDG-positive vs. [¹⁸F]FDG-negative patients was 41.7% vs. 17%.
[¹⁸F]FDG-positive patients have statistically significant shorter survival parameters than [¹⁸F]FDG-negative patients. The risk of progression in [¹⁸F]FDG-positive vs. [¹⁸F]FDG-negative patients in one-year follow-up is comparable, whereas in two-year follow-up it is nearly two times higher for [¹⁸F]FDG PET/CT-positive patients.
使用放射性标记的生长抑素类似物的肽受体放射性核素治疗(PRRT)是治疗弥散性神经内分泌肿瘤(NET)患者的一种选择。本研究的目的是评估[¹⁸F]FDG PET/CT 在预测串联治疗[⁹⁰Y]Y/[¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-DOTATATE 后反应、无进展生存期(PFS)和总生存期(OS)中的作用。
75 例经组织病理学证实的 NET G1 和 G2 患者纳入本研究。在治疗前进行了[⁶⁸Ga]Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT 和[¹⁸F]FDG PET/CT 检查。患者接受[⁹⁰Y]Y/[¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-DOTATATE(1:1)治疗,并混合氨基酸输注进行肾脏保护。
[¹⁸F]FDG 阳性患者的无进展生存期为 22.2 个月,[¹⁸F]FDG 阴性患者为 59.3 个月(p=0.003)。[¹⁸F]FDG 阴性患者的 OS 从诊断开始(OS-D)和 PRRT 开始(OS-T)未达到,而[¹⁸F]FDG 阳性患者的 OS-D 和 OS-T 分别为 71.8 个月和 55.8 个月。[¹⁸F]FDG 阳性患者的观察到的总一年生存率为 96.8%,[¹⁸F]FDG 阴性患者为 99.1%,两年生存率分别为 88.9%和 96%,五年生存率分别为 58.8%和 88%。[¹⁸F]FDG 阳性患者的一年和两年进展风险分别为 15%和 58.9%,[¹⁸F]FDG 阴性患者的一年和两年进展风险分别为 11%和 32%。[¹⁸F]FDG 阳性患者的客观缓解率(ORR)为 41.7%,[¹⁸F]FDG 阴性患者为 17%。
与[¹⁸F]FDG 阴性患者相比,[¹⁸F]FDG 阳性患者的生存参数具有统计学显著差异。在一年随访中,[¹⁸F]FDG 阳性与[¹⁸F]FDG 阴性患者的进展风险相当,而在两年随访中,[¹⁸F]FDG PET/CT 阳性患者的进展风险几乎高出两倍。
