Whole-body tumour burden on 18FDCFPyL PET/CT in biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer: association with tumour biology and PSA kinetics

The objective was to assess the association between molecular imaging (mi) variables on [18F]DCFPyL-PET/CT with clinical and disease characteristics and prostate specific antigen (PSA) related variables in patients with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer (BRPC).PURPOSEThe objective was to ass...

Description
Summary:The objective was to assess the association between molecular imaging (mi) variables on [18F]DCFPyL-PET/CT with clinical and disease characteristics and prostate specific antigen (PSA) related variables in patients with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer (BRPC).PURPOSEThe objective was to assess the association between molecular imaging (mi) variables on [18F]DCFPyL-PET/CT with clinical and disease characteristics and prostate specific antigen (PSA) related variables in patients with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer (BRPC).We analysed patients with BRPC after radical treatment. We obtained clinical and PSA variables: International Society of Urology Pathology (ISUP) grade group, European Association of Urology (EAU) risk classification, PSA (PSA≤1ng/ml, 12), PSA doubling time (PSAdt) and PSA velocity (PSAvel). All PET/CT scans were reviewed with the assistance of automated Prostate Molecular Imaging Standardized Evaluation (aPROMISE) software and lesions' segmentation in positive scans was performed using this platform. Standardized uptake value (SUV) derived variables; tumour burden variables [whole-body tumour volume (wbTV), whole-body tumour lesion activity (wbTLA) and whole-body mi PSMA (wbPSMA)] and miTNM staging were obtained. Cut-off of PSA and kinetics able to predict PET/CT results were obtained. Associations between disease and mi variables were analysed using ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis and Spearman's correlation tests. Multivariate analysis was also performed.MATERIAL AND METHODSWe analysed patients with BRPC after radical treatment.
