The South Australian 177Lu-DOTATATE peptide receptor radionuclide therapy service: an 11-year review of toxicity, health-related quality of life, and survival. (PubMed, ESMO Gastrointest Oncol)
Median duration of follow-up was 37.6 months (range 0.0-134.6 months) with a median OS from first cycle of PRRT 48.4 months (95% confidence interval 42.5-57.3 months). Patients with advanced NEN/NET or other somatostatin receptor-positive malignancies treated with 177Lu-DOTATATE at our centre had improved hr-QoL following iPRRT, with comparable toxicity and OS to other centres.

A multicenter phase II randomized controlled trial comparing 177Lu-Dotatate/capecitabine combination treatment with 177Lu-Dotatate monotherapy in patients with neuroendocrine tumors. (PubMed, Clin Cancer Res)
In this prematurely closed phase II study, 177Lu-Dotatate/capecitabine did not improve ORR or prolong PFS and OS in advanced NET patients compared to 177Lu-Dotatate alone and was associated with reduced QALYs.

Thymic Neuroendocrine Tumors: Evolving Insights and Innovative Approaches. (PubMed, JTO Clin Res Rep)
The benefit of adjuvant therapy in well-differentiated tumors is unclear, whereas thymic neuroendocrine carcinomas often require multimodal approaches, including platinum-etoposide chemotherapy and radiotherapy...Somatostatin analogues are widely used in indolent or peptide receptor-positive tumors, whereas everolimus and, more recently, cabozantinib represent options for progressive disease...Despite promising therapeutic options, robust prospective data remain limited. The integration of TNENs into basket trials, the molecular refinement of prognostic subgroups (e.g., NET G3), and the conduct of dedicated multicenter prospective studies are urgently needed to define optimal treatment algorithms and improve clinical outcomes in these rare entities.

Therapy-Associated Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer (tNEPC): A Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenge in Uro-Oncology with Emerging Clinical Implications (PubMed, Aktuelle Urol)
Due to biological heterogeneity and limited evidence, tNEPC requires individualised, interdisciplinary management. This review summarises current insights into the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapeutic strategies of tNEPC and provides an outlook on future developments.

Expanding the therapeutic horizon of 177Lu-DOTATATE: a review of current evidence. (PubMed, Nagoya J Med Sci)
Considering that SSTR expression is also present in various other tumors-including pheochromocytomas, paragangliomas, meningiomas, and medullary thyroid carcinomas-there is increasing interest in expanding the use of PRRT to other SSTR-positive malignancies. This review aimed to present evidence, explore ongoing clinical research, and highlight emerging directions for 177Lu-DOTATATE therapy beyond gastroenteropancreatic NETs.

Predicting eligibility for outpatient 177Lu-DOTATATE-targeted radionuclide therapy in patients with neuroendocrine tumors. (PubMed, Nucl Med Commun)
The whole-body washout rate derived from pretreatment SSTR imaging is a strong, practical predictor for outpatient eligibility following 177Lu-DOTATATE TRT. Incorporating this simple, noninvasive marker into clinical workflow could support individualized discharge planning and improve patient access under strict radiation safety regulations.

Tumor-Induced Osteomalacia Mimicking Metastases on Ga-68 DOTATATE Scan: A Rare Pericytic Variant of Phosphaturic Mesenchymal Tumor. (PubMed, Radiol Case Rep)
This case highlights the diagnostic challenges associated with OOM, the utility of somatostatin receptor-based PET/CT in tumor localization, and the importance of considering TIO in patients with unexplained hypophosphatemia and osteomalacia. Prompt recognition and surgical intervention can lead to complete resolution of symptoms and prevent long-term skeletal complications.

Synchronous Succinate Dehydrogenase Subunit B (SDHB)-Deficient Gallbladder Paraganglioma and Periduodenal Well-Differentiated Neuroendocrine Tumor: A Case Report. (PubMed, Cureus)
The postoperative course was uneventful, and follow-up imaging at eight months showed no recurrence. This unique case of synchronous SDHB-deficient gallbladder paraganglioma and periduodenal NET illustrates cross-lineage tumorigenesis within a single germline background and emphasizes the value of SDH immunohistochemistry and genotype-guided surveillance.

Targeted β--Particle Plus Conversion and Auger-Electron Therapy with 161Tb-Labeled Somatostatin Receptor Antagonist DOTA-LM3: A Phase 0 Study. (PubMed, J Nucl Med)
The tumor-to-bone marrow absorbed dose ratio was in the same range for [161Tb]Tb-DOTA-LM3 as for [177Lu]Lu-DOTATOC. The administration of 1 GBq of [161Tb]Tb-DOTA-LM3 was safe for all patients, without relevant adverse events.
