<p>Clinical Evaluation of Everolimus in the Treatment of Neuroendocrine Tumors of the Lung: Patient Selection and Special Considerations. A Systematic and Critical Review of the Literature</p>

Abstract: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the lung are well-differentiated neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) with a heterogeneous clinical behaviour. Unlike gastroenteropancreatic NENs where therapeutic armamentarium clearly increased over the last decade, everolimus represented the only clinical practical innovation for lung NET patients over the last years. Therefore, for lung NETs, a multidisciplinary discussion within a dedicated team remains critical for an adequate decision-making. Although the main regulatory autho… Show more

“…[42][43][44] Given the heterogeneity of NENs, their management and treatment is complex. 45 Recently developed treatments include somatostatin analogs, everolimus, 46 temozolomide plus capecitabine, sunitinib, and peptide receptor radionuclide therapy. 47 Despite an increase in treatment options for patients with NENs, an unmet medical need remains for additional novel therapies that provide optimal disease management.…”

“…AC presents metastatic spread in up to one half of cases and has a median time to recurrence of 1.8 years. As for advanced lung NET, median survival from diagnosis is about 6-7 years [59]. Concerning treatment, it worth considering a different approach based on the histological group and patients tailored.…”

“…On 20 July 2012, the U.S. FDA approved Everolimus for the treatment of post-menopausal women with advanced HR+/HER2− breast cancer. It is worth mentioning that Everolimus has been approved also for tuberous sclerosis complexassociated partial-onset seizures (in 2018), progressive, nonfunctional gastrointestinal and lung neuroendocrine tumors (in 2016), and advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (in 2011), as well as being the first approved pediatric-specific dosage form for the management of a rare pediatric brain tumor called subependymal giant cell astrocytoma [29][30][31].…”
