131I-MIBG radionuclide therapy for the recurrence case of phaeochromocytoma and paraganglioma has been used in Europe from the 1980s, and in Japan from the 1990s by patient's expense. 131I-MIBG therapy for malignant phaeochromocytoma and paraganglioma became the insurance adaptation in Japan in 2022, however there are not enough number of the facilities that can enforce this treatment now. Because radioactivity is given by oneself after the treatment, the patient is hospitalized in the lead cover room that is a radiation therapy sickroom.

Purpose: [F]-meta-fluorobenzylguanidine ([F]MFBG) and somatostatin receptor (SSTR)-targeted PET tracers have both been proposed for imaging neuroblastoma, however, their respective clinical roles remain unclear. This prospective study compared [F]MFBG PET with SSTR-targeted PET, using either [Ga]Ga-DOTATATE or [F]AlF-NOTA-octreotide([F]-OC), to evaluate diagnostic performance and potential clinical impact in neuroblastoma.
Methods: Sixteen patients (median age 5.

Pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PPGL) is a rare neuroendocrine tumor with metastatic potential. Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy with Lu-DOTATATE, a radiolabeled somatostatin analog, has been used for the treatment of somatostatin receptor-positive PPGLs and has shown promising efficacy and generally mild toxicity. However, rare instances of fatal crises following treatment have been reported.

High specific-activity I-metaiodobenzylguanidine ([I]MIBG) therapy is approved for patients with pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma. As [I]MIBG is not effectively cleared through dialysis, the 2008 European Association of Nuclear Medicine guidelines list renal insufficiency requiring dialysis as a contraindication for [I]MIBG treatment. We describe the clinical and dosimetry findings of a hemodialysis-dependent patient with metastatic paraganglioma who was treated with [I]MIBG.

The rare abscopal effect in radiotherapy is thought to result from immune-activating damage-associated molecular patterns, such as high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1), released from cancer cells. While external irradiation of cancer cells increases HMGB1 release, it remains unclear whether internal radiotherapy with 131I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine (131I-MIBG) induces similar effects. This study aimed to determine if HMGB1 is released from human-derived cancer and normal cells after 131I-MIBG administration.
