177Lu-DOTATATE and 177Lu-prostate-specific membrane antigen therapy in a patient with advanced metastatic radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer after failure of tyrosine kinase inhibitors treatment

Patients with radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RrDTC) have only a limited or no benefit from radioiodine therapy. For these patients, tyrosine kinase inhibitors have demonstrated encouraging results in advanced RrDTC. Nevertheless, these therapies are related with substantial si...

description Patients with radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RrDTC) have only a limited or no benefit from radioiodine therapy. For these patients, tyrosine kinase inhibitors have demonstrated encouraging results in advanced RrDTC. Nevertheless, these therapies are related with substantial side effects and a high cost. Somatostatin receptor-based therapies have shown promising findings in advanced RrDTC. Recently, prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) expression was seen in advanced RrDTC in imaging studies. This study presents a case of RrDTC who was treated with 177Lu-DOTATATE and 177Lu-PSMA, presumably as a first report in this regard.
