    Abstract Abstract: Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy with 99m Tc-Tektrotyd is widely used for the investigation of neuroendocrine tumors. Overexpression of somatostatin receptors has been shown in different tumor types including lymphomas, breast carcinoma, and renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Isolated case reports have shown that RCC metastases can be identified using somatostatin receptor imaging such as Octreoscan scintigraphy and 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT. We report the case of a 70-year-old man with a history of surgically removed RCC who referred to 99m Tc-Tektrotyd scintigraphy for the evaluation of a pancreatic tail lesion. The scan revealed intense tracer uptake in a left splenius cervicis muscle lesion that on biopsy was consistent with metastatic RCC.

    Abstract Nuclear medicine treatments of well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are gaining increasing acceptance among clinicians. Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is an effective systemic treatment, providing a significant survival benefit and improving patients' quality of life. Locoregional selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) is a safe and effective treatment for unresectable NET liver metastases, providing good local tumor control and symptomatic relief. Few reports in literature examine the sequential use of PRRT and SIRT in metastatic NET. We report the case of a metastatic NET patient treated with sequential PRRT-SIRT achieving a long disease control interval without cumulative toxicity issues.

    Abstract Introduction: To evaluate the role of unilateral inguinal lymph-node dissection (ILND) plus contralateral dynamic sentinel node biopsy (DSNB) vs. bilateral ILND in clinical N1 (cN1) penile squamous cell carcinoma (peSCC) patients.
    Material and methods: Within our institutional database (1980-2020, included), we identified 61 consecutive cT1-4 cN1 cM0 patients with histological confirmed peSCC who underwent either unilateral ILND plus DSNB (26) or bilateral ILND (35).
    Results: Median age was 54 years (Interquartile range [IQR]: 48-60 years). Median follow-up was 68 months (IQR 21-105 months). Most patients had pT1 (23 %) or pT2 (54.1%), as well as G2 (47.5%) or G3 (23%) tumors, while lymphovascular invasion (LVI) was present in 67.1% of cases. Considering a cN1 and a cN0 groin, overall 57 out of 61 patients (93.5%) had nodal disease in the cN1 groin. Conversely, only 14 out of 61 patients (22.9%) had nodal disease in the cN0 groin. 5-year IR-free survival was 91% (Confidence interval [CI] 80%-100%) for bilateral ILND group and 88% (CI 73%-100%) for the ipsilateral ILND plus DSNB group (P-value 0.8). Conversely, 5-year CSS was 76% (CI 62%-92%) for bilateral ILND group and 78% (CI 63%-97%) for the ipsilateral ILND plus contralateral DSNB group (P-value 0.9).
    Conclusions: In patients with cN1 peSCC the risk of occult contralateral nodal disease is comparable to cN0 high risk peSCC and the gold standard, namely bilateral ILND, may be replaced by unilateral ILND and contralateral DSNB without affecting positive node detection, IRRs and CSS.

    Abstract Objective: This multicenter study aimed to investigate the role of preoperative lymphatic mapping and sentinel node biopsy (SNB) as well as the impact of negative SNB on loco-regional control and survival in vulvar melanoma patients with clinically negative nodes (cN0).
    Methods: Patients who had a proven vulvar melanoma with a Breslow thickness of 1-4 mm, cN0 and underwent a preoperative lymphatic mapping followed by SNB between July 2013 and March 2021 were retrospectively included. Groin recurrence and mortality rate were calculated as absolute and relative frequency. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were assessed by the Kaplan-Meier method. We provided a systematic review, searching among PubMed/Medline and Embase libraries. A total of 6 studies were identified (48 patients).
    Results: A total of 18 women were included. Preoperative planar images showed 51 SNs in 28 groins. Additional SPECT/CT images were acquired in 5/18 cases; SNs were identified pre- and intra-operatively in all cases. A total of 65 SNs were excised from 28 groins. A total of 13/18 (72.2%) patients (21/28 groins, 75%) had negative SNs with no groin recurrences and 12/13 (92.3%) were still alive at last follow-up. Five out of the 18 (27.8%) patients (7/28 groins, 25%) had positive SNs, 2/5 (40%) patients died of cancer after 26.2 and 33.8 months, respectively. The median DFS and OS for the entire cohort were 17.9 months (95% CI, 10.3-19.9) and 65.0 months (95% CI, 26.2-infinite), respectively. The probability of DFS and OS at 3 years were 15.5% (95% CI, 2.6-38.7) and 64.3% (95% CI, 15.5-90.2), respectively.
    Conclusions: The use of preoperative lymphatic mapping followed by SNB permits a precise and minimally invasive surgical approach in cN0 vulvar melanoma patients. Negative SNB is associated with low risk of groin relapse and good survival.

    Abstract Background: The need for axillary dissection (AD) is declining, but it is still essential for many patients with nodal involvement who risk developing breast-cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) with lifelong consequences. Previous nonrandomized studies found axillary reverse mapping and selective axillary dissection (ARM-SAD) a safe and feasible way to preserve the arm's lymphatic drainage.
    Methods: The present two-arm prospective randomized clinical trial was held at a single comprehensive cancer center to ascertain whether ARM-SAD can reduce the risk of BCRL, compared with standard AD, in patients with node-positive breast cancer. Whatever the type of breast surgery or adjuvant treatments planned, 130 patients with nodal involvement met our inclusion criteria: 65 were randomized for AD and 65 for ARM-SAD. Twelve months after surgery, a physiatrist assessed patients for BCRL and calculated the excess volume of the operated arm. Lymphoscintigraphy was used to assess drainage impairment. Self-reports of any impairment were also recorded.
    Results: The difference in the incidence of BCRL between the two groups was 21% (95% CI, 3-37; p = .03). A significantly lower rate of BCRL after ARM-SAD was confirmed by a multimodal analysis that included the physiatrist's findings, excess arm volume, and lymphoscintigraphic findings, but this was not matched by a significant difference in patients' self-reports.
    Conclusions: Our findings encourage a change of surgical approach when AD is still warranted. ARM-SAD may be an alternative to standard AD to reduce the treatment-related morbidity.

    Abstract Purpose: To investigate the relationships between tumor absorbed dose (TAD) or normal tissue absorbed dose (NTAD) and clinical outcomes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with yttrium-90 glass microspheres.
    Methods: TARGET was a retrospective investigation in 13 centers across eight countries. Key inclusion criteria: liver-dominant HCC with or without portal vein thrombosis, < 10 tumors per lobe (at least one ≥ 3 cm), Child-Pugh stage A/B7, BCLC stages A-C, and no prior intra-arterial treatment. Multi-compartment pre-treatment dosimetry was performed retrospectively. Primary endpoint was the relationship between ≥ grade 3 hyperbilirubinemia (such that > 15% of patients experienced an event) without disease progression and NTAD. Secondary endpoints included relationships between (1) objective response (OR) and TAD, (2) overall survival (OS) and TAD, and (3) alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and TAD.
    Results: No relationship was found between NTAD and ≥ grade 3 hyperbilirubinemia, which occurred in 4.8% of the 209 patients. The mRECIST OR rate over all lesions was 61.7%; for the target (largest) lesion, 70.8%. Responders and non-responders had geometric mean total perfused TADs of 225.5 Gy and 188.3 Gy (p = 0.048). Probability of OR was higher with increasing TAD (p = 0.044). Higher TAD was associated with longer OS (HR per 100 Gy increase = 0.83, 95% CI: 0.71-0.95; p = 0.009). Increased TAD was associated with higher probability of AFP response (p = 0.046 for baseline AFP ≥ 200 ng/mL).
    Conclusion: Real-world data confirmed a significant association between TAD and OR, TAD and OS, and TAD and AFP response. No association was found between ≥ grade 3 hyperbilirubinemia and NTAD.

    Abstract Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy is an effective, well-tolerated, treatment for well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors, resulting in a significant survival benefit and improvement of quality of life. Very few data are available on peptide receptor radionuclide therapy effectiveness in grade 3 neuroendocrine carcinomas with high somatostatin receptor expression. We report the case of a 70-year-old woman with metastatic pancreatic grade 3 neuroendocrine carcinoma who underwent 6 cycles of tandem treatment with investigational radiopharmaceuticals Y-DOTATOC and Lu-DOTATOC achieving an impressive response.
