Abstract
A 25-year-old woman presented with metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor with carcinoid syndrome. She was refractory to octreotide and did not respond well to chemotherapy. Although surgical debulking remains the primary approach for managing these tumours, it entails inherent risks, including potentially exacerbating carcinoid syndrome. We strategically delivered the one Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy cycle before tumor debulking, a decision that yielded a remarkable response, stabilizing her condition.
