Retrospective study of patients with metastatic/progressive pheochromocytoma (PCC) and paraganglioma (PGL) treated with (131) I MIBG in our hospital during 2015–2018 period.
Methods: There are no established criteria for establishing PCC/PGL as malignant apart from de presence of metastases at diagnosis. Radionuclide therapy (131) I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is frequently used in this patients when surgery is not possible. Indication of MIBG treatment was made in the Neuroendocrine Tumor Multidisciplinary Team meeting. After a (123) I-MIBG to assess tracer uptake standard 200 mCi (131) I-MIBG dose was administered in each patient until disease stabilization and then follow up was made.
Results:

| Clinically functioning tumor | Mild hypertension Flushing | Bad controlled hypertension | Bad controlled hypertension |

| Before treatment Plasma Normetanephrine (N<180 pg/ml) Urine Normetanephirne (N<444 ug/24h) | January 2016 -Plasma Normetanephrine 199 pg/ml -Urine Normetanephrine 1122 ug/24 | September 2015 -Plasma Normetanephrine 300 pg/ml -Urine Normetanephrine 1192ug/24 h | 2013 -Plasma Normetanephrine 788 (<444) |
| After last MIBG treatment (hormonal response) | October 2018 -Plasma Normetanephrine 158 pg/ml -Urine Normetanephrine 614 ug/24 h | November 2018 -Plasma Normetanephrine 2 213 pg/ml -Urine Normetanephrine 631 ug/24 h | - |
| Clinical Response to treatment | Less frequent and intense hot flashes Well controlled hypertension | Well controlled hypertension | Better control of hypertension |
| Radiological response (RECIST) to treatment | Stable disease | Stable disease | Progression liver metastases in 2014 Stable disease 2018 |
| Metabolic response to treatment | Stabilization or mild response in liver and mesentery. Metabolic response in bone | Stabilization or partial response (lung) | Partial metabolic response in liver Stabilization para aortic lymph node |
| Free Progression Survival | +36 months | +40 months | +45 months |
| Cumulative activity (MBq) | 800 mCi | 800 mCi | 1550 mCi |
| Haematological toxicity | None | Neutropenia grade2 | None |
| Renal toxicity | None | None | None |
Conclusion: Therapy with (131) I-MIBG is a safe therapeutical option in patients with metastatic PCC/PGL, leading to easier control of hypertension, and mild improvement or at least stabilization of disease progression without major side effects in our 4 year centre experience.
