A 59-year-old woman with metastatic pancreatic insulinoma, having undergone several treatment regimens including sunitinib, everolimus, lanreotide and streptozocin plus 5-fluorouracil, was admitted to our hospital because of frequent hypoglycemic attacks. These were refractory to medical treatment using diazoxide and required frequent daily intravenous glucose infusions. She was started on capecitabine and temozolomide (CAPTEM), followed by initiation of 177Lu-DOTATATE peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). The frequency of hypoglycemic attacks decreased after treatment began and she was discharged on day 58 post-admission, without requiring daily glucose infusions. CAPTEM and PRRT were continued without any major adverse events. Computed tomography revealed shrinkage of primary and metastatic lesions, an anti-tumor effect that continued 8 months after treatment was initiated. Hypoglycemic attacks caused by insulinomas are often refractory to conventional therapy; however, combination treatment using CAPTEM and PRRT has demonstrated a positive and significant response, successfully restoring glycemic control.
