Receptor depletion and recovery in small-intestinal neuroendocrine tumors and normal tissues after administration of a single intravenous dose of octreotide measured by 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT

Abstract Background Low-grade neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are characterized by an abundance of somatostatin receptors (SSTR) that can be targeted with somatostatin analogs (SSA). When activated with a single dose of SSA, the receptor-ligand complex is internalized, and the receptor is by default re...

Methods Patients with small-intestinal NETs received a single intravenous dose of 400 µg octreotide and underwent dynamic abdominal 68Ga-DOTATOC-PET/CT at three sessions (0, 3 and 6 h) plus static whole-body (WB) PET/CT (1, 4 and 7 h), starting each PET/CT session by administering 167 ± 21 MBq, 23.5 ± 4.2 µg (mean ± SD, n = 12) of 68Ga-DOTATOC.

Results Tumor SUV decreased significantly from baseline to 1 h post-injection but subsequently increased over time and became similar to baseline at 4 h and 7 h. The tumor net uptake rate, Ki, similarly increased significantly over time and showed a linear correlation both with SUV and tumor-to-blood ratio.
