RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) has gained acceptance as the preferred surgical procedure for management of primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT). Appropriate selection of patients for a MIP is a crucial step in its utilization. The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of 18F-FCH PET/CT as second-line imaging for accurately directing MIP. METHODS: This is a retrospective single-center study. Seventy-two patients with biochemical evidence of pHPT and a non-conclusive or negative first-line imaging (ultrasound and dual isotope subtraction scintigraphy) received 18F-FCH PET/CT between January 2018 and February 2020. All imaging studies were performed at our institution. Assessment of therapeutic changes and outcomes was performed. RESULTS: of the 72 patients imaged with 18F-FCH PET/CT, 54 subsequently underwent parathyroidectomy. When considering the ability of 18F-FCH PET/CT alone to predict a uniglandular disease, the sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV were 92.7% (95%CI: 80.1-98.5), 46.2% (19.2-74.9), PPV 87.3% (80.5-92) and NPV 61.2% (31.4-84.5), respectively. When we combined the data provided by 18F-FCH PET/CT with the data already collected from 1st line imaging we were able to complete a minimally invasive surgery in 38 of the 41 (92%) patients with a uniglandular disease. Thirteen patients (24%) had a multiglandular disease, all of them except one underwent bilateral neck exploration based on the data collected by all imaging modalities combined. Overall, cure was achieved in 53 (98%) patients. CONCLUSION: 18F-FCH PET/CT, interpreted along with first-line imaging results in selected patients, can better facilitate utilization of MIS while maintaining exceptional cure rates.

RESUMO

PET/CT with 6-18F-fluoro-l-dopa (18F-FDOPA) has high diagnostic performance for midgut neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). We explored the prognostic role of 18F-FDOPA PET/CT uptake in metastatic midgut NETs. Methods: We included, in a test cohort (n = 166) and a full external validation cohort (n = 86), all consecutive patients with metastatic midgut NETs who underwent 18F-FDOPA PET/CT in 5 expert centers from 2010 to 2021. We measured the maximal uptake (SUVmax and SUVpeak) of the tumor and nontumor liver on each 18F-FDOPA PET/CT scan. We measured overall survival (OS) from the time of PET/CT and assessed prognostic factors using Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox proportional-hazards analyses in the test cohort, with replication in the validation cohort. Results: Patients had similar characteristics in both cohorts. In the test cohort, median follow-up was 60.3 mo. Patients with an SUVpeak tumor-to-liver (T/L) ratio of more than 4.2 had significantly shorter survival than those with a ratio of 4.2 or less (P = 0.01), with a 5-y OS rate of 74.1% ± 4.5% versus 95% ± 3.4%, respectively. On multivariable analysis, an SUVpeak T/L ratio of more than 4.2 remained associated with shorter OS (hazard ratio, 2.30; 95% CI, 1.02-5.22; P = 0.046) after adjustment for age, grade, number of previous lines, number of metastatic sites, and presence of carcinoid syndrome. In the validation cohort, the 5-y OS rate was 100% versus 57.8% ± 12.5% in patients with an SUVpeak T/L ratio ≤ 4.2 or > 4.2, respectively (P = 0.075). An increasing SUVpeak T/L ratio over time tended to have a pejorative prognostic impact. Conclusion: Tumor uptake on 18F-FDOPA PET/CT is an independent prognostic factor in patients with metastatic midgut NETs.

RESUMO

CONTEXT: Despite the growing evidence of the clinical value of somatostatin receptor (SSTR) positron emission tomography (PET) in the evaluation of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), its role remains to be clarified at different time points in the journey of patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1). The rarity of the disease is however a significant impediment to prospective clinical trials. OBJECTIVE: The goals of the study were to assess the indications and value of SSTR PET/computed tomography (CT) in patients with MEN1. METHODS: We retrospectively included patients from 7 French expert centers for whom data on SSTR PET/CT and morphological imaging performed at the same period were available. Detection rates of PET study were analyzed. RESULTS: One hundred and 8 patients were included. SSTR PET/CT was performed at screening (n = 33), staging (n = 34), restaging (n = 37), and for peptide receptor targeted radiotherapy selection (n = 4). PET detected positive pancreatic lesions in 91% of cases at screening, with results comparable with magnetic resonance imaging but superior to CT (P = .049). Metastases (mostly lymph node [LN]) were present at the screening phase in 28% of cases, possibly due to the suboptimal value of screening morphological imaging in the assessment of nodal metastases and/or a long delay between imaging studies. SSTR PET/CT was considered superior or complementary to the reference standard in the assessment of LN or distant metastases in the vast majority of cases and regardless of the clinical scenario. CONCLUSION: This study shows the potential added value of SSTR PET in the assessment of MEN1-associated NETs and provides great impetus toward its implementation in the evaluation of patients with MEN1.
