A patient with Paget's disease developed phosphate diabetes (phosphate: 1.6 mg/dl (2.5-4.4 mg/dl), with 29 ml/min phosphate clearance (Nl<15ml/min) and a 65% phosphate reabsorption rate (Nl>85%). As previously demonstrated in tumor-induced osteomalacia, we hypothesized that osteoblasts might manifest somatostatin receptor activity. The patient underwent an octreotide scan which demonstrated increased uptake localized in affected bone. Under lanreotide treatment (40 mg i.m.), the patient's bone pain improved with a concomitant decrease in phosphate alkaline level. Phosphate clearance and tubular readsorption rate of phosphate did not change significantly. We reviewed previously reported cases of associated Paget's bone disease and phosphate diabetes.

For more than 50 years now, nuclear medicine has offered therapeutic procedures in oncology. These comprise bone pain palliation in bone metastases of prostate and breast cancer. For more than 20 years now, metaiodobenzylguanidine (mIBG) has been used to treat neuroendocrine tumors. Ten years ago, somatostatin analogues such as Y-90 Dotatoc became available for the treatment of somatostatin receptor-positive tumors. The intracavitary injection of radiocolloids has been well known for 5 decades now and can be used in malignant effusions. Invasive procedures such as intra-arterial injection of I-131 lipiodol may be applied in multifocal, nonresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. Beyond that, intratumoral injection of radioisotopes may be used in cutaneous metastases. Radioimmunotherapy using labeled tumor antibodies is now also available, especially in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Unsealed radionuclides have been in clinical therapeutic use for well over half a century. Following the early inappropriate clinical administrations of radium salts in the early 20th century, the first real clinical benefits became evident with the use of (131)I-sodium iodide for the treatment of hypothyroidism and differentiated thyroid carcinoma and (32)P-sodium phosphate for the treatment of polycythaemia vera. In recent years the use of bone seeking agents (89)Sr, (153)Sm and (186)Re for the palliation of bone pain have become widespread and considerable progress has been evident with the use of (131)I-MIBG and (90)Y-somatostatin receptor binding agents. Although the use of monoclonal antibody based therapeutic products has been slow to evolve, the start of the 21st century has witnessed the first licensed therapeutic antibody conjugates based on (90)Y and (131)I for the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The future clinical utility of this form of therapy will depend upon the development of radiopharmaceutical conjugates capable of selective binding to molecular targets. The availability of some therapeutic radionuclides such as (188)Re produced from the tungsten generator system which can produce activity as required over many months, may make this type of therapy more widely available in some remote and developing countries.Future products will involve cytotoxic radionuclides with appropriate potency, but with physical characteristics that will enable the administration of therapeutic doses with the minimal need for patient isolation. Further developments are likely to involve molecular constructs such as aptamers arising from new developments in biotechnology.Patient trials are still underway and are now examining new methods of administration, dose fractionation and the clinical introduction of alpha emitting radiopharmaceutical conjugates. This review outlines the history, development and future potential of these forms of therapy.

The patient with a history of bone pain and muscle weakness, was thought to have oncogenic osteomalacia as a result of biochemical investigations and directed to Nuclear Medicine Department for a whole-body bone scintigraphy and 111In-octreotide scintigraphy. There was no focal pathologic tracer uptake, but generalized marked increase in skeletal uptake on bone scintigraphy. Octreotide scintigraphy showed accumulation of octreotide in the region of the left lobe of the thyroid gland in the neck. Thereafter, parathyroid scintigraphy was performed with technetium-99m labeled metroxy-isobutyl-isonitryl (99mTc-MIB) and MIBI scan demonstrated radiotracer uptake at the same location with octreotide scintigraphy. The patient underwent left inferior parathyroidectomy and histopathology confirmed a parathyroid adenoma. Somatostatin receptor positive parathyroid adenoma may show octreotide uptake. Octreotide scintigraphy may be promising and indicate a possibility of using somatostatin analogues for the medical treatment of somatostatin receptor positive Conflict of interest:None declared.

A 32-year-old woman presented with progressive myalgia, bone pain, fatigue, insufficiency hip fractures, high urine phosphate, and low serum phosphate and vitamin D levels. These findings were suggestive of oncogenic osteomalacia. A whole-body Tc-octreotide scintigraphy with SPECT/CT showed uptake on a sclerotic intramedullary lesion in the left medial tibia plateau. MRI depicted a solid lesion. The lesion was surgically removed; the patient became asymptomatic, and follow-up laboratory results normalized. Histopathologic examination revealed a vascular hemangiopericytoma-like tumor, positive for somatostatin receptor (SSR-2). Whole-body Tc-octreotide scintigraphy with SPECT/CT may detect occult oncogenic osteomalacia tumors.

In the majority of patients with breast cancer in the advanced stages, skeletal metastases are common, which may cause excruciating pain. Currently available drug treatments for relief of breast cancer-induced bone pain (BCIBP) include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and strong opioid analgesics along with inhibitors of osteoclast activity such as bisphosphonates and monoclonal antibodies such as denosumab. However, these medications often lack efficacy and/or they may produce serious dose-limiting side effects. In the present study, we show that J-2156, a somatostatin receptor type 4 (SST4 receptor) selective agonist, reverses pain-like behaviors in a rat model of BCIBP induced by unilateral intra-tibial injection of Walker 256 breast cancer cells. Following intraperitoneal administration, the ED50 of J-2156 for the relief of mechanical allodynia and mechanical hyperalgesia in the ipsilateral hindpaws was 3.7 and 8.0 mg/kg, respectively. Importantly, the vast majority of somatosensory neurons in the dorsal root ganglia including small diameter C-fibers and medium-large diameter fibers, that play a crucial role in cancer pain hypersensitivities, expressed the SST4 receptor. J-2156 mediated pain relief in BCIBP-rats was confirmed by observations of a reduction in the levels of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (pERK), a protein essential for central sensitization and persistent pain, in the spinal dorsal horn. Our results demonstrate the potential of the SST4 receptor as a pharmacological target for relief of BCIBP and we anticipate the present work to be a starting point for further mechanism-based studies.

Tumor-induced osteomalacia is a fibroblast growth factor 23(FGF23)-related hypophosphatemic disorder caused by FGF23 producing tumor. TIO represents bone pain, fracture/pseudofracture, muscle weakness, etc which could lead the patient bedridden. Serum phosphate level of these patients is low with concomitant inappropriately elevated FGF23 level. Surgery is the only radical treatment method, but localization of the causative tumor could be challenging. Functional imaging is performed to detect FGF23 producing tumor, such as somatostatin receptor scintigraphy, somatostatin receptor PET/CT and systemic FGF23 venous sampling. Because prolonged hypophosphatemia would develop irreversible complications, early accurate diagnosis and tumor localization are desirable for these patients.
