Terapia de Radionúclidos con Ligando de Péptidos en Meningiomas: Evidencia Actual, Posibilidades Futuras

Meningiomas are the most common primary intracranial tumors, showing highly heterogeneous behavior and clinical outcomes. While the majority are benign, about one in five meningiomas are classified as higher grade (WHO Grade II-III), characterized by a more aggressive, treatment-resistant pathology. Although surgical resection remains the first-line therapy, peptide receptor radionuclide therapy is emerging as a novel and promising option for advanced, multifocal, or recurrent disease. The theranostic paradigm allows simultaneous detection and treatment of somatostatin receptor-expressing lesions using a single radiopharmaceutical. In this review, we explore the evolving role of PRRT in the management of meningiomas. We provide an integrated overview of preclinical findings-including radiosensitization mechanisms-and summarize the rapidly expanding clinical literature, which in recent years has grown both in patient numbers and in methodological sophistication. Particular emphasis is placed on advances in dosimetry, quantitative imaging, and radiomics, which are beginning to refine patient selection and improve response prediction. Together, current evidence highlights the therapeutic potential of radionuclide therapy in aggressive or refractory meningiomas and underscores the need for further prospective trials to define its optimal clinical application.
