Core Tip	This retrospective comparative cohort study evaluates lutetium Lu 177 dotatate (177Lu-DOTATATE) peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) combined with everolimus in somatostatin receptor-positive G2 neuroendocrine tumor liver metastases after liver transplantation. In 7 PRRT-treated patients vs 8 controls, PRRT achieved a disease control rate of 85.7% and significantly improved progression-free survival (log-rank P = 0.028), with manageable hematologic toxicity (grade III in 28.6%) and no graft rejection. These hypothesis-generating findings suggest PRRT as a promising option for this rare cohort.
