Abstract
Glucagonoma is a rare pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (panNET) that can be characterized by increased secretion of glucagon and distinguishing symptoms - glucagonoma syndrome with a typical dermatosis, necrolytic migratory erythema, being its most common manifestation. While surgery and somatostatin analogs remain first-line therapeutic options in panNETs, radioligand therapy with [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE is a recommended second-line palliative treatment in advanced, metastatic cases. However, its prospects and efficacy are still not vastly researched in less frequent neuroendocrine neoplasms. Here, we present an extraordinary case of a metastatic glucagonoma treated with [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE used as a second-line treatment in progressive disease.
期刊介绍:
Written in English, NMR is a biannual international periodical of scientific and educational profile. It is a journal of Bulgarian, Czech, Hungarian, Macedonian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Ukrainian and Yugoslav Societies of Nuclear Medicine. The periodical focuses on all nuclear medicine topics (diagnostics as well as therapy), and presents original experimental scientific papers, reviews, case studies, letters also news about symposia and congresses. NMR is indexed at Index Copernicus (7.41), Scopus, EMBASE, Index Medicus/Medline, Ministry of Education 2007 (4 pts.).
