Diagnostic imaging with
111In-DTPA-octreotide:
Clinical impact on the management of
patients with neuroendocrine tumours


Neuroendocrine tumours: clinic and treatment
Indications for imaging
Somatostatin
111In-DTPA-octreotide (OctreoScan®)
Imaging
 Normal Findings
 Uptake scale
 Typical and unusual findings



Some patients, that you have sent to us for treatment
Thank you
Neuroendocrine tumours

A small tumour group, with lots to learn
from!

During the last decade, an evolving model for
designing and studying tracers in nuclear
imaging and therapy
Neuroendocrine tumours
Gastro-entero-pancreaticoduodenal tumours (GEP-NETs)

”Carcinoids”: derived from embryonal foregut, midgut
and hindgut


Foregut och midgut carcinoids: Production of
5-HIAA (classic carcinoid syndrom: flushing,
palpitation, diarrhea)
Endocrine pankreaticoduodenal tumours (EPTs):
functioning or non-functioning

Different associated hormonal syndroms

Gastrin, insulin, glucagon, VIP, somatostatin,
ACTH….
Neuroendocrine tumours




Pheochromocytomas /paragangliomas
Medullary thyroid carcinomas
Neuroendocrine cancers/ neuroendocrine
tumours of unknown origin
…………..many rare entities
Treatment overview


Surgery
Local destruction of livermetastases



Leverembolisation
Radiofrequency ablation
Biological treatment (alpha-Interferon,
Somatostatinanalogs)


Chemotherapy
Radiation



External Beam
Brachytherapy of livermetastases (SIR-spheres®)
Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy
(PRRT)
Indications for diagnostic imaging




Staging of recently diagnosed patients
Finding small tumours: important in case of
significant hormone production (pancreas) , or to
rule out extrahepatic disease prior to
livertransplantation
Receptor status before chosing therapy
Follow-up of therapy
If finding small tumours is
important…..

…Maybe PET/CT is your choice
11C-5-HTP
(HTP)
C
11
11C-5-hydroxytryptophan
If the receptor status is important…..

Imaging with somatostatin
analogs!
Somatostatin
Somatostatin
Somatostatin

Regulatory hormone, that
 Inhibits growth hormone
 Inhibits/suppresses release of a row of
gastrointestinal hormones (VIP, glucagon,
cholecystokinin, gastrin, motilin, secretin….)
 Suppresses the exocrine function of the
pancreas
 Inhibits TSH
Octreotide (Sandostatin®)
Somatostatin receptors




5 subtypes (sstr1- sstr5)
Sstr2 predominant in neuroendocrine tumours,
followed by sst5
Octreotide somatostatin analog predominantly
used in the clinic (Sandostatin®, Sandostatin
LAR®), predominant affinity for sstr2 and 5
Golden standard för sstr- diagnostic in nuclear
medicine: OctreoScan® (111In-DTPA-octreotide)

OctreoScan® imaging





Whole body scan: Scanning time (at least 30min)
SPECT/CT: so much better information
Activity 200MBq for adults; one kit per patient
Imaging after 24 hrs sufficient , SPECT/CT and patient
preparation important
Laxation:
Toilax® (Bisacodyl)
 2 tabl. à 5mg noon and evening on day of injection


klysma Toilax® morning of examination day
Liquid food 12.00 noon inj. day until examination is
finished
Intensity of uptake






Arbitrary scale (according to Krenning): uptake in
relation to liver uptake
0: no uptake
1: weak uptake, less than liver
2: moderate uptake equivalent to liver
3: intense uptake, higher than liver
4:very intense uptake, much higher than liver, more
intense than spleen/kidneys
OctreoScan® 1996: both diagnostics and
therapy

Cardiac metastases
Right liver lobe previously treated

Imaging: Insulinoma





Insulinomas: predominant pancreatic endocrine
tumour group
Better prognosis than other GEP NETs
Excellent surgical curation rate, if localized
express in only 50% sstr2
Malignant insulinomas may have higher expression
of sstr2

Follow up of therapy

Somatostatin receptor density
may vary in different metastases in the same
patient
 May change over time
 Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy should
only be interpreted together with radiological
information

56y-old lady, atypical bronchial
carcinoid


Previously pulmectomy
3 years later pain in the back
Treatment with temozolomide (Temodal®)
Follow-up with OctreoScan®: not a
given indication….
Baseline

9 courses
…but it may help to interprete your
CT-findings
Cave: Receptor up-regulation


Treatment can change receptor expression
New uptake does not necessarily need to represent
new lesions.
