FIGURE 7. Patient 1853, a 41-y-old man, presented with widely metastatic MTC in neck, chest, and liver and was treated at a dose of 1,850 MBq/m2 with 90Y-hMN-14 IgG + 60 mg/m2 Dox 1 d later. Two index lesions selected in baseline CT images were in liver. (A and B) Sequential slices that show 1 index lesion as an irregularly shaped tumor in upper portion of left lobe of liver. (C and D) Two slices though lower portion of liver show another very large laterally positioned lesion that was apparent in 11 consecutive 7.0-mm slices. Extent of this lateral lesion can be better appreciated in nuclear images to the right, where its size was estimated to be 234 g. Regions are drawn around baseline lesions, since several tumors were poorly enhanced. Three-month CT scan shows considerable reduction in upper lesion with noticeable reduction and more necrosis in lateral lesion. WB and anterior planar nuclear images (E and G, respectively) taken 6 d after 111In-hMN-14 IgG show very high accretion of radioactivity in lateral liver lesion as well as uptake in several other locations throughout liver. (H) Transaxial SPECT view of liver at 48 h also shows intense uptake in lateral lesion. (F) Antibody targeting of what proved to be 5 separate lesions in neck, with a sum of the product of their perpendicular diameters at baseline equaling 9.64 cm2, decreasing to a sum of 3.28 cm2 at 3 mo (66% reduction).
