Response by Choi criteria to sunitinib plus octreotide LAR in a functional heavily pretreated advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor

Abstract: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are rare malignancies that arise from the islets of Langerhans. The role of standard chemotherapy in advanced well-differentiated PNETs remains to be defined. Sunitinib is an oral multitargeted inhibitor with antiangiogenic and antitumor properties that has shown significant improvement in survival in metastatic PNETs, although objective responses by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors were only 9%. We herein report on the case of a middle-aged woman with metas… Show more

“…In a separate case report, sunitinib 37.5 mg/day and octreotide long-acting release (LAR) were administered to a 55-year-old woman with heavily pretreated advanced pNET [Grande et al 2011]. After 3 months, there was a clear decrease in tumor density on CT (though no response according to RECIST criteria) and complete resolution of symptoms.…”

“…The response criteria proposed by Choi's et al [23], first used in assessing the response of gastrointestinal stromal tumor, take the change in both diameter and density into consideration. Although some studies have demonstrated the role of Choi's criteria in evaluating response of NET to targeted therapies [24,25], the effectiveness of Choi's criteria in evaluating response to liver-directed embolotherapy is still unclear.…”
