Outstanding increase in tumor-to-background ratio over time allows tumor localization by 89ZrZr-PSMA-617 PET/CT in early biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer
Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) using prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radiotracers labeled with zirconium-89 (89Zr; half-life ~ 78.41 h) showed promise in localizing biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer (BCR) in pilot studies.BACKGROUNDPositron emiss...

Zusammenfassung: | Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) using prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radiotracers labeled with zirconium-89 (89Zr; half-life ~ 78.41 h) showed promise in localizing biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer (BCR) in pilot studies.BACKGROUNDPositron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) using prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radiotracers labeled with zirconium-89 (89Zr; half-life ~ 78.41 h) showed promise in localizing biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer (BCR) in pilot studies.Retrospective analysis of 38 consecutive men with BCR (median [minimum-maximum] prostate-specific antigen 0.52 (0.12-2.50 ng/mL) undergoing [89Zr]Zr-PSMA-617 PET/CT post-negative [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT. PET/CT acquisition 1-h, 24-h, and 48-h post-injection of a median (minimum-maximum) [89Zr]Zr-PSMA-617 tracer activity of 123 (84-166) MBq.METHODSRetrospective analysis of 38 consecutive men with BCR (median [minimum-maximum] prostate-specific antigen 0.52 (0.12-2.50 ng/mL) undergoing [89Zr]Zr-PSMA-617 PET/CT post-negative [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT. PET/CT acquisition 1-h, 24-h, and 48-h post-injection of a median (minimum-maximum) [89Zr]Zr-PSMA-617 tracer activity of 123 (84-166) MBq.[89Zr]Zr-PSMA-617 PET/CT detected altogether 57 lesions: 18 local recurrences, 33 lymph node metastases, 6 bone metastases in 30/38 men with BCR (78%) and prior negative conventional PSMA PET/CT. Lesion uptake significantly increased from 1-h to 24-h and, in a majority of cases, from 24-h to 48-h. Tumor-to-background ratios significantly increased over time, with absolute increases of 100 or more. No side effects were noted. After [89Zr]Zr-PSMA-617 PET/CT-based treatment, prostate-specific antigen concentration decreased in all patients, becoming undetectable in a third of patients.RESULTS[89Zr]Zr-PSMA-617 PET/CT detected altogether 57 lesions: 18 local recurrences, 33 lymph node metastases, 6 bone metastases in 30/38 men with BCR (78%) and prior negative conventional PSMA PET/CT.
