Peptide receptor scintigraphy with [(111)In-DTPA(0)]octreotide (a stabilized radiolabeled somatostatin (SS) analogue, OctreoScan) is widely used for the visualization and staging of somatostatin receptor-positive tumors. The application of likewise somatostatin analogues as vehicle for the deliverance of radionuclides to somatostatin receptor-positive targets are now in use for peptide receptor-targeted radionuclide therapy (PRRT). Currently preclinical and clinical investigation are ongoing trying to find the optimal combination of radionuclide and ligand. The anti-tumoral effects of such combinations, like [90Y-DOTA degrees, Tyr(3)]octreotide and [(177)Lu-DOTA degrees, Tyr(3)]octreotate, on SSR-positive solid tumors have been reported. In this study we present the anti-tumor effects of (177)Lu-DOTA-tate on: a) a single SSR-positive cell model and b) on a SSR-positive tumor in a rat liver micrometastatic model, mimicking disseminated disease. (177)Lu-DOTA-tate showed anti-tumoral effects in both cases and significant survival in the PRRT-treated rats. (177)Lu-DOTA-tate is a very promising new treatment modality for SSR-positive tumors, including disseminated disease.
