The clinical concern is primarily due to their complex anatomy and close proximity to vital structures, compounded by lack of proper understanding of pathogenesis, no definitive classification or staging system, and no established treatment guidelines. We present the promise of combined treatment with 177Lu-DOTATATE–based peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) and platinum-based chemotherapy in a patient with high-grade, recurrent, and metastatic SNC (that demonstrated high uptake on both 68Ga-DOTATATE and 18F-FDG PET/CT), which showed a significant partial response. The case report highlights the feasibility and effectiveness of applying a combined protocol of 177Lu-DOTATATE and platinum-based chemotherapy in the management of high-grade, recurrent, metastatic SNC.
