    Adult neuroblastoma (AN) is rare with an extremely poor prognosis. No standard therapy exists for this entity and treatment options are limited in recurrent or refractory disease. 131I-MIBG has been used in combination with myeloablative therapy before autologous bone marrow transplantation or in a salvage therapy setting. However, myelotoxicity is a dose-limiting factor in heavily pre-treated patients and response is not always sustained. Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy and theranostics with radiolabelled somatostatin receptor analogues are becoming more commonplace with the recognition of these receptors in over 90% of neuroblastoma cells. We describe three AN patients assessed for somatostatin receptor status and the novel use of 177Lu-based peptide recep-tor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) in two of them and a literature review.
