177 Lu-DOTATATE Therapy in a Case of Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer With Neuroendocrine Differentiation.

An 84-year-old man with prostate cancer with neuroendocrine differentiation underwent PET/CT for staging. 68 Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen PET/CT did not show significant abnormal tracer accumulation, whereas 18 F-OC ( 18 F-AlF-NOTA-octreotide) PET/CT showed elevated tracer uptake at multiple sites throughout the body. Therefore, the patient opted to receive 1 cycle of 177 Lu-DOTATATE peptide receptor radionuclide therapy with a dose of 200 mCi. Encouragingly, radiographic tumor remission and improvement of clinical symptoms were observed after only 1 cycle of treatment.
