I131-MIBG treatment revisited: How important is scheduling when combined with external beam irradiation?

Abstract:
Neuroblastoma is the most frequent extra-cranial tumour in younger childhood. The current treatment of high-risk (stage 4) inoperable neuroblastoma includes a combination of chemotherapy and/or total irradiation with either autologous bone marrow transplantation or peripheral blood stem cell reinfusion. Despite these treatments the 4-year overall survival for high-stage neuroblastoma is still low (69%). Targeted/molecular radiotherapy (MRT) where the overexpressed noradrenaline transporter is targeted with 131I-MIBG (Meta-iodobenzylguanidine) an analogue of noradrenaline is an effective treatment for relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma. The aim of this study is to investigate whether in vivo imaging could be used to inform scheduling of MRT with 131I-MIBG in a human neuroblastoma xenograft model (SK-N-SH) to optimize and enhance the efficacy of external beam irradiation (EBRT).
