Background • Metastases from differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) can lose in time the capacity to concentrate radioiodine and the possibility to have a specific treatment.
Background • DTC may express somatostatin receptors; this offers a further opportunity of diagnosis and treatment. Tenenbaum F et al J Nucl Med 1995 Görges R et al Nuklearmedizine 1999 Forssell-Aronsson EB et al J Nucl Med 2000
Nuclear Medicine Imaging Target site: Somatostatin receptors Somatostatin analogs • Scintigraphy, SPECT, SPECT/CT • 111In-Octreoscan • PET/CT • 68Ga-DOTATOC • 68Ga-DOTANOC • 68Ga-DOTATATE

Metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer negative at radioiodine scan B.M. male, 75 year old 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT: Diffuse lung metastases (+ bone and lymph node mts)
Metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer negative at radioiodine scan P.M. female, 61 year old 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT: multiple bone metastases
Patients 45 pts with non-radioiodine-avid DTC, metastatic or suspicious metastatic underwent 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT m/f 21/24 age 23-82 yrs, mean 59 Results Negative PET: 23 pts (51%) Positive PET: 22 pts (49%)
Results • Multivariate analysis does not show any significant association with a positive 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT
From Diagnosis to Treatment Diagnosis 68Ga DOTATOC Treatment 90Y / 177Lu
Results • 13/45 (28%) patients satisfied the criteria (high uptake in the lesions) to access PRRT with 90Y/177Lu-DOTATOC • 11 pts underwent treatment (90Y: 9 pts - 177Lu: 2 pts)

Results • The clinical response is superior to the PET/CT findings.
Side effects • Nausea (grade 1): 4/11 • Astenia (grade 1): 2/11 • Hematologic Toxicity: 4/11 • (transient decreasing of platelets, WBC, eritrocytes) • Renal failure: 1/11
Conclusions • Labelled somatostatin analogs are very interesting for pts with progressive radioiodine-negative Differentiated Tyroid Cancer • About 50% of these pts are positive at 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT • The possibility to use the same peptide for therapy in PET positive pts is promising but needs further confirmation in larger number of pts.
