- Nuclear medicine plays an increasingly important role in the management neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN). Somatostatin analogue (SSA)-based positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) have been used in clinical trials and approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) Focus 3 performed a multidisciplinary Delphi process to deliver a balanced perspective on molecular imaging and radionuclide therapy in well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). NETs form in cells that interact with the nervous system or in glands that produce hormones. These cells, called neuroendocrine cells, can be found throughout the body, but NETs are most often found in the abdomen, especially in the gastrointestinal tract. These tumours may also be found in the lungs, pancreas and adrenal glands. In addition to being rare, NETs are also complex and may be difficult to diagnose. Most NETs are non-functioning; however, a minority present with symptoms related to hypersecretion of bioactive compounds. NETs often do not cause symptoms early in the disease process. When diagnosed, substantial number of patients are already found to have metastatic disease. Several societies' guidelines address Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) management; however, many issues are still debated, due to both the difficulty in acquiring strong clinical evidence in a rare and heterogeneous disease and the different availability of diagnostic and therapeutic options across countries. EANM Focus 3 reached consensus on employing 68gallium-labelled somatostatin analogue ([68Ga]Ga-DOTA-SSA)-based PET/CT with diagnostic CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for unknown primary NET detection, metastatic NET, NET staging/restaging, suspected extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma and suspected paraganglioma. Consensus was reached on employing 18fluorine-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose ([18F]FDG) PET/CT in neuroendocrine carcinoma, G3 NET and in G1-2 NET with mismatched lesions (CT-positive/[68Ga]Ga-DOTA-SSA-negative). Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) was recommended for second line treatment for gastrointestinal NET with [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-SSA uptake in all lesions, in G1/G2 NET at disease progression, and in a subset of G3 NET provided all lesions are positive at [18F]FDG and [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-SSA. PRRT rechallenge may be used for in patients with stable disease for at least 1 year after therapy completion. An international consensus is not only a prelude to a more standardised management across countries but also serves as a guide for the direction to follow when designing new research studies.

- Our primary aim was to compare the therapeutic index (tumor-to- bone marrow and tumor -to -kidney absorbed -dose ratios) of the new radiolabeled somatostatin receptor antagonist [ 177 Lu]Lu-DOTA-JR11 with the established radiolabeled somatostatin receptor agonist [ 177 Lu]Lu-DOTATOC in the same patients with progressive, standard therapy -refractory meningioma. Methods: In this prospective, singlecenter, open -label phase 0 study (NCT04997317), 6 consecutive patients were included: 3 men and 3 women (mean age, 63.5 y). Patients received 6.9-7.3 GBq (standard injected radioactivity) of [ 177 Lu]Lu-DOTATOC followed by 3.3-4.9 GBq (2 GBq/m 2 3 body surface area) of [ 177 Lu]Lu-DOTA-JR11 at an interval of 10 6 1 wk. In total, 1 [ 177 Lu]Lu-DOTATOC and 2-3 [ 177 Lu]Lu-DOTA-JR11 treatment cycles were performed. Quantitative SPECT/CT was done at approximately 24, 48, and 168 h after injection of both radiopharmaceuticals to calculate meningioma and organ absorbed doses as well as tumor -to -organ absorbed -dose ratios (3 -dimensional segmentation approach for meningioma, kidneys, liver, bone marrow, and spleen). Results: The median of the meningioma absorbed dose of 1 treatment cycle was 3.4 Gy (range, 0.8-10.2 Gy) for [ 177 Lu]Lu-DOTATOC and 11.5 Gy (range, 4.7-22.7 Gy) for [ 177 Lu]Lu-DOTA-JR11. The median bone marrow and kidney absorbed doses after 1 treatment cycle were 0.11 Gy (range, 0.05-0.17 Gy) and 2.7 Gy (range, 1.3- 5.3 Gy) for [ 177 Lu]Lu-DOTATOC and 0.29 Gy (range, 0.16-0.39 Gy) and 3.3 Gy (range, 1.6-5.9 Gy) for [ 177 Lu]Lu-DOTA-JR11, resulting in a 1.4 (range, 0.9-1.9) times higher median tumor-to-bone marrow absorbed -dose ratio and a 2.9 (range, 2.0-4.8) times higher median tumor -to -kidney absorbed -dose ratio with [ 177 Lu]Lu-DOTA-JR11. According to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0, 2 patients developed reversible grade 2 lymphopenia after 1 cycle of [ 177 Lu]Lu-DOTATOC. Afterward, 2 patients developed reversible grade 3 lymphopenia and 1 patient developed reversible grade 3 lymphopenia and neutropenia after 2-3 cycles of [ 177 Lu]Lu- DOTA-JR11. No grade 4 or 5 adverse events were observed at 15 mo or more after the start of therapy. The disease control rate was 83% (95% CI, 53%-100%) at 12 mo or more after inclusion. Conclusion: Treatment with 1 cycle of [ 177 Lu]Lu-DOTA-JR11 showed 2.2-5.7 times higher meningioma absorbed doses and a favorable therapeutic index compared with [ 177 Lu]Lu-DOTATOC after injection of 1.4-2.1 times lower activities. The first efficacy results demonstrated a high disease control rate with an acceptable safety profile in the standard therapy for refractory meningioma patients. Therefore, larger studies with [ 177 Lu]Lu-DOTA-JR11 are warranted in meningioma patients.

- The European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (ENETS) promotes practices and procedures that aim to improve the standard of care delivered to patients diagnosed with or suspected of having neuroendocrine neoplasia (NEN). At its annual Scientific Advisory Board Meeting in 2018, experts in imaging, pathology and clinical care of patients with NEN drafted guidance for the standardised reporting of diagnostic studies critical to the diagnosis, grading, staging and treatment of NEN. These included pathology, radiology, endoscopy and molecular imaging procedures. In an iterative process, a synoptic reporting template for molecular imaging procedures was developed to guide personalised therapies. Following pilot implementation and refinement within the ENETS Center of Excellence network, harmonisation with specialist imaging societies including the Society of Nuclear Medicine, European Association of Nuclear Medicine and the International Cancer Imaging Society will be pursued.
