This study aims to assess the detection rate of ^(68)Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen-positron emission tomography/computed tomography(PSMA-PET/CT) for diagnosis of clinical recurrence and as a treatment decision making tool in Asian patients with BCR post-Rad P.Methods: ^(68)Ga PSMA-PET and CT body with/without bone scan [conventional workup(CWU)] were performed in 55 Asian patients with BCR within 36 months post-Rad P. Two blinded reviewers assessed the images. Detection rates of ^(68)Ga PSMAPET/CT were evaluated, and impact on management was reviewed by comparison with CWU.Results: Median time to BCR post-Rad P was 8.1 months. Detection rate for ^(68)Ga PSMA-PET/CT was 80%(44/55). A positive scan was significantly associated with increasing prostate-specific antigen(PSA) level [odds ratio(OR) = 1.13(95% CI 1.05–1.30), P =0.017], but not with higher Gleason grade or shorter PSA doubling time. Compared to CWU, ^(68)Ga PSMA-PET/CT detected an additional 106 lesions in 33/44 patients with a positive scan, resulting in a change in management in 25/44(56.8%) patients: 10 to hormonal therapy(HT) and whole pelvis radiotherapy(RT) in addition to bed RT, and 15 to palliative HT alone.Conclusions: In the present report, we demonstrated the diagnostic and treatment decision utility of ^(68)Ga PSMA-PET/CT in Asian men with rapid BCR. Detection of small volume nodal and systemic recurrences at low PSA levels(< 1.0 ng/mL) highlights the role of the tool in assigning patients to treatment intensification with HT-RT or palliative HT in polymetastatic disease.展开更多

Method and Materials: Forty-four consecutive patients of prostate cancer were prospectively studied between the duration of January 2021 to June 2021 at Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Oncology (INMOL), Lahore. All PET-CT scans were assessed by a researcher and 3 nuclear physicians and divided into two groups, interpreted in two phases. In the first phase, each group independently evaluated the scans while in the second phase, a consensus meeting was held and all the cases with discordance were discussed. Cohen’s Kappa test was used to measure interobserver variability with the cut-off of K’s alpha Results: The study showed 41 out of 44 scans with positive PSMA findings while 03 scans were negative for any PSMA avid disease. In the first phase of image analysis, the level of agreement was slight in T stage (Kappa = 0.068, p = 0.65), moderate in the miN stage (Kappa = 0.46, p = 0.02) and substantial in miM stage (Kappa = 0.77, p ≤ 0.001) was seen. For PSMA score, overall agreement was substantial agreement (Kappa = 0.64, p Conclusion: Remarkable inter-observer agreement was seen in PROMISE criteria.展开更多

文摘目的探讨^(68)Ga-FAPI PET/CT对初诊食管癌患者原发病灶及转移病灶的检出能力,并与^(18)F-FDG PET/CT进行比较。方法回顾分析厦门大学附属第一医院2019-12-01-2022-12-30行^(18)F-FDG和^(68)Ga-FAPI PET/CT检查的32例食管癌患者,其中男26例,女6例,年龄43~85岁,平均年龄(62.16±10.11)岁。采用配对t检验或Wilcoxon符号秩检验比较^(68)Ga-FAPI与^(18)F-FDG在病灶中的最大标准摄取值(SUV_(max))及2种显像检出的病变数量,采用Pearson相关性分析确定显像剂摄取值高低与原发病灶大小之间的关系,采用方差分析或Kruskal-Wallis秩和检验比较3种不同病理分化类型病灶间SUV_(max)的差异。结果32例初诊食管癌患者中有30例鳞状细胞癌与2例腺癌。在食管癌原发病灶中,^(68)Ga-FAPI的SUV_(max)比^(18)F-FDG更高(17.43±5.74 vs 12.94±4.67,t=-4.128,P<0.001)。^(68)Ga-FAPI的SUV_(max)与原发病灶的纵向直径不相关(r=0.111,P=0.545),但^(18)F-FDG的SUV_(max)与其相关(r=0.368,P=0.038)。在两者共检测出的130个可疑淋巴结转移病灶中,^(68)Ga-FAPI的SUV_(max)较^(18)F-FDG更高[8.72(5.30,12.68)vs 5.88(3.78,13.50),Z=-6.150,P<0.001];且在同一患者中,^(68)Ga-FAPI能检测出更多可疑的淋巴结转移病灶[3.0(1.0,5.0)vs 3.0(2.0,5.0),Z=-2.254,P=0.024]。在两者共同检测出的21个远处转移病灶中,^(68)Ga-FAPI的SUV_(max)比^(18)F-FDG更高(12.11±4.42 vs 6.37±1.73,t=-6.263,P<0.001)。结论^(68)Ga-FAPI较^(18)F-FDG在食管癌原发和转移病灶中有更高的放射性摄取,在视觉分析中能发现更多的转移病灶,有利于初诊食管癌患者个体化治疗方式选择。
