High-Administered Activity In-111 Octreotide Therapy with Concomitant Radiosensitizing 5FU Chemotherapy for Treatment of Neuroendocrine Tumors: Preliminary Experience

Abstract: HA-Oc+5FU achieve a high rate of symptomatic response associated with stabilization/improvement in hormonal and functional scan abnormalities. Combination treatment achieved disease stabilization in the majority of patients with previously progressive disease. There was no significant observed increase in toxicity with additional 5FU, making it a promising adjunct to radiopeptide receptor therapy for progressive NET.

“…Our findings suggest that In-111 octreotide can be safely used in the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors. In a recent study with combined use of In-111 octreotide and chemotherapy in 15 patients, even better results have been obtained (symptomatic improvement in 67 and stable disease in 90%) [33]. In the present study, the most frequent adverse effects were temporary reduction in lymphocyte count and nausea, with no remarkable renal or hematological toxicities.…”

“…This is not surprising given the short particle range of the Auger electrons of 111 In and consequent lack of crossfire effects. In an attempt to increase the effectiveness of this therapy, radiosensitizing chemotherapy was added to this protocol with apparent enhancement in symptomatic and scintigraphic responses [11]. The cost and limited response rates of this therapy have, however, limited its ongoing use.…”

“…However, due to grade 3 capecitabine-induced angina, three patients discontinued the drug, but were able to complete the intended four cycles of PRRT (30). Feasible results were also published for the combination of capecitabine and 90 Y radioimmunotherapy and 111 In-octreotide radiopeptide therapy (31,32). The use of radiosensitizing agents is, therefore, not limited to the combination of one specific type of radionuclide.…”
