- Patients must have given written informed consent.
- Female or male aged 18 years and over.
- Inoperable histologically proven neuro-endocrine tumor with indication for 177Lu-dotatate at enrollment time.
- Well-differentiated neuro-endocrine tumor with a Ki67-index *20% and a mitotic count of *20.
- Confirmed presence of somatostatin receptors on target lesions, based on somatostatin receptor imaging.
- Life expectancy of 6 months or longer.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score 0-1.
- Hepatic metastases with at least one lesion *3 cm on cross sectional imaging in both the right and left liver lobe (i.e. left and right lobes are based on the hepatic arterial perfusion territory).
- Presence of excessive liver metastases, defined as >25% tumor load.
- Patients may or may not have extrahepatic metastases.
- Patients must have clinical or radiological progressive disease.
- Negative pregnancy test for women of childbearing potential.
- Any previous radioembolization, chemoembolization, or bland embolization, at any time, or surgery or radiofrequency ablation (or other ablative therapies) within 12 weeks prior to randomization in the study.
- Prior external beam radiation therapy to the liver.
- Interferons, Everolimus (mTOR-inhibitors) or other systemic therapies within 4 weeks prior to randomization in the study.
- Any patient receiving treatment with short-acting Octreotide, which cannot be interrupted for 24 hours before and 24 hours after the administration of 177Lu-dotatate, or any patient receiving treatment with Octreotide LAR, which cannot be interrupted for at least 4 weeks before the administration of 177Lu-dotatate, unless the tumor uptake on target lesions observed by imaging during continued Octreotide LAR treatment is higher than normal liver uptake.
- Any unresolved toxicity greater than National Cancer Institute (NCI), Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE version 4.03) grade 2 from previous anti-cancer therapy.

- Patients suffering from psychic disorders that make a comprehensive judgement impossible, such as psychosis, hallucinations and/or depression. Patients who are declared incompetent.
- Previous enrolment in the present study or previous treatment with 177Lu-dotatate.
- Female patients who are not using an acceptable method of contraception (oral contraceptives, barrier methods, approved contraceptive implant, long-term injectable contraception, intrauterine device or tubal ligation) OR are less than 1 year postmenopausal or surgically sterile during their participation in this study (from the time they sign the consent form) to prevent pregnancy.
- Male patients who are not surgically sterile or do not use an acceptable method of contraception during their participation in this study (from the time they sign the consent form) to prevent pregnancy in a partner.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>To assess if there is a difference in post-treatment tumor-to-non-tumor (T/N)<br /><br>activity concentration ratio on SPECT/CT between the intra-arterial treated<br /><br>liver lobe and the intravenous treated liver lobe. The T/N activity<br /><br>concentration will be measured on SPECT/CT. The primary endpoint will be<br /><br>assessed after the first treatment cycle. The T/N activity ratios of the<br /><br>second, third, and final treatment cycle will be assessed as secondary<br /><br>endpoint. Tumor response, toxicity, extrahepatic uptake and kidney uptake are<br /><br>secondary endpoints. Intra- and inter-patient differences will be studied.</p><br>
