ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of 68Ga-PSMA-11-PET/CT to detect recurrent location(s) in hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (PCa). Secondary objectives are (1) to evaluate changes in clinical management; (2) to determine which covariates independently predict positive scan; (3) to assess 68Ga-PSMA-11-PET/CT performance in different settings of PSA relapse. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Inclusion criteria include (1) histologically diagnosed PCa; (2) previous radical therapy; (3) proven biochemical recurrence (BCR) or biochemical persistence (BCP); (4) hormone-sensitive PCa (HSPC); (5) androgen deprivation therapy (ADT)-free for at least 6 months; (6) PSA < 1.5 ng/mL or any PSA in case of negative choline-PET/CT (n = 38). Changes in clinical management were defined by multidisciplinary tumour-board. Clinical settings were BCP (group-1, n = 25); first-time BCR (group-2, n = 121); BCR after salvage therapy (group-3, n = 77).RESULTS:
Two hundred twenty-three (223) consecutive patients were enrolled median PSA = 0.65 ng/mL (0.2-8.9) and median PSAdt = 9.3 months (0.4-144.6). 96.9% received RP as primary therapy. 68Ga-PSMA-11-PET/CT positivity rate was 39.9% (CI95% 33.5-46.7%). Disease confined to pelvis was detected in 23.3% of cases. At least one distant lesion was observed in 16.6% of cases. Secondary objectives are as follows (1) changes in clinical management were observed in 34.5% of patients; (2) PSA, PSAdt and T stage > 3a were independent predictors (all p < 0.03); (3) 68Ga-PSMA-11-PET/CT positivity rate was 56% (in group 1, 36.3% in group 2, 40.3% in group 3.CONCLUSION:
This study attested the overall good performance of 68Ga-PSMA-11-PET/CT to detect PCa locations in HSPC patients eligible for salvage therapy, influencing the therapy management in 35.4% of cases. Furthermore, patient characteristics are influencing factors of 68Ga-PSMA-11-PET/CT positivity rate and should be considered to reduce false negative scan.Palabras clave
