Study aim
-
To evaluate the therapeutic effect of Lu177-PSMA in refractory but PSMA-avid papillary thyroid cancer
-
Design
-
This is a pilot single arm study with 10 patients that are eligible for this treatment based on the tumor board's opinion and their diagnostic evaluation.
-
Settings and conduct
-
Due to the low prevalence of eligible patients, there is only one case group. Patients in Isfahan Sayedshohada Cancer Center and Namazi Hospital in Shiraz, after being evaluatedthat by the tumor board, will undergo a diagnostic method with 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT or alternative imaging (Tc99m-PSMA) to determine their eligibility for the therapy with 177Lu-PSMA-617 will be planned for two to four cycles of 177Lu-PSMA therapy. The interval between each treatment cycle is 6 to 8 weeks based on the related guideline.

Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Patients with metastatic radio-iodine refractory papillary thyroid cancer with baseline, WBC>3000, Hb>9, platelete .cont>70000, AST and ALT<5*nl limit and Cr<2*nl are limited by a multidisciplinary tumor board. The data collected from these patients will be reviewed, and their eligibility for participating in the study will be evaluated.
Patients who refused to participate in the study,
life-expectancy of <1 month,
a history of other concomittant cancers or other end-stage organ diseases,
Patients with baseline, WBC<3000, Hb<9, platelete .cont<70000, AST and ALT>5*nl limit and Cr>2*nl limit, will be excluded from the study.
