Uso del 177Lu-DOTATATE como terapia en carcinomas de tiroides yodorrefractarios

Endocrine tumours may express somatostatin receptors,and this characteristic has been used, not only for diagnosis, but also for their treatment through somatostatin analogue labelling with radioactive isotopes. This was the case of a patient suffering from iodine-refractory follicular thyroid carcinoma, with somatostatin receptors expression, treated with 177Lu-DOTATATE, showing an excellent clinical and analytical response.
