PurposeClinically available intraoperative imaging tools to assist surgeons in identifying occult lesions are limited and partially responsible for the high rate of disease recurrence in patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NET). Using the established clinical efficacy of radiolabeled somatostatin analogs as a model, we demonstrate the ability of a fluorescent somatostatin analog to selectively target tumors that overexpress somatostatin receptor subtype-2 (SSTR2) and demonstrate utility for fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS).Experimental DesignA multimodality chelator (MMC) was used as a “radioactive linker” to synthesize the fluorescently labeled somatostatin analog,67/68Ga-MMC(IR800)-TOC.In vivostudies were performed to determine the pharmacokinetic profile, optimal imaging time point, and specificity for SSTR2-expressing tissues. Meso- and microscopic imaging of resected tissues and frozen sections were also performed to further assess specific binding, and binding to human NETs was examined using surgical biospecimens from patients with pancreatic NETs.ResultsDirect labeling with67Ga/68Ga provided quantitative biodistribution analysis that was in agreement with fluorescence data. Receptor-mediated uptake was observedin vivoandex vivoat the macro-, meso-, and microscopic scales. Surgical biospecimens from patients with pancreatic NETs also displayed receptor-specific agent binding, allowing clear delineation of tumor boundaries that matched pathology findings.ConclusionsThe radioactive utility of the MMC allowed us to validate the binding properties of a novel FGS agent that could have a broad impact on cancer outcomes by equipping surgeons with real-time intraoperative imaging capabilities.
