The objective of this article is to provide a practical illustrated review of PET/CT in the imaging evaluation of transitional cell carcinoma. CONCLUSION. Local evaluation of the primary tumor in patients with transitional cell carcinoma on PET is often limited by the obscuring effect of excreted FDG, but assessment of metabolic activity may still be possible through close correlation with CT images. PET/CT may also be helpful in the detection of disease outside the bladder at nodal or more distant sites and in the assessment of recurrent disease. P ET/CT with 18F-FDG has emerged as a powerful tool for the combined metabolic and anatomic evaluation of many cancers. lthough transitional cell carcinoma accounts for 2% of cancer deaths in the United States, there are relatively few articles in the radiology literature about the utility of PET/CT in this malignancy, possibly because detection of the primary tumor by PET is often difficult due to intense accumulation of excreted FDG in urine [1]. Excreted FDG results in marked uptake throughout the urinary tract and, in addition to obscuring urologic malignancies, such uptake can cause several pitfalls. For example, pooling of FDG in the pelvicaliceal system, in a dilated ureter, or in a bladder diverticulum can be confusing and can falsely suggest pathologic uptake [2]. Excreted FDG activity can be diminished by bladder irrigation or diuresis with furosemide, but such approaches are not part of common practice. CT technique is also an important variable. For example, the routine use of IV contrast material with delayed imaging has been reported to result in a CT sensitivity of 79% for the detection of bladder cancer [3]. The confounding effect of excreted FDG on the visualization of the primary tumor may also be addressed by radiopharmaceuticals such as 11 C choline or 11 C acetate, which are not excreted (Fig. 1), but currently these agents are not readily available. Despite this limitation, we have found that 18 F-FDG PET/CT of transitional cell carcinoma can still be useful in evaluating the primary tumor, distant disease, and recurrence. This pictorial essay aims to provide a practical illustrated review of PET/ CT in the imaging evaluation of transitional cell carcinoma. PET/CT of the Primary Tumor lthough excreted FDG can obscure activity in the primary tumor, particularly if the tumor is small and is confined to the mucosa or wall, careful correlation with CT images may facilitate detection of increased FDG uptake in more advanced transitional cell carcinomas (Fig. 2). Inspection of the coregistered CT images may also allow detection of extravesical extension, which indicates T3b disease (Fig. 3). lthough PET images rarely help in assessing extravesical extension, FDG activity may help in confirming involvement of adjacent organs such as the prostate, vagina, rectum, and uterus, thereby establishing T4a disease. Transitional cell carcinoma can rarely arise within urinary bladder diverticula and is associated with a poorer prognosis due to early tumor invasion through the thin diverticular wall [4] (Fig. 4). Upper tract transitional cell carcinoma may be visible on PET if the size or location of the tumor allows distinction from excreted FDG activity (Fig. 5). PET/CT of Nodal Involvement PET/CT allows the combined anatomic and metabolic evaluation of nodal disease at both regional and distant sites (Figs. 6 and 7). The reported sensitivity and specificity of PET for evaluation of nodal disease JR:193, December 2009 W497

For personal use only; all rights reserved in untreated patients with metastatic transitional cell carcinoma are 76.9% and 97.1%, respectively [5]. Sensitivity declines to as low as 50% in patients who have received prior chemotherapy, likely secondary to decreased metabolic activity of treated tumor sites [5]. ccurate assessment of local tumor extent and nodal disease is particularly important in treatment planning. Patients with superficial tumor may be treated with transurethral resection with or without intravesical chemotherapy. Those with more invasive but still localized tumor, such as T2 or T3, benefit from partial or radical cystectomy, or a combination of radiation and systemic chemotherapy. Tumors arising from bladder diverticula are particularly well suited for partial cystectomy. Patients with unresectable tumors (T4b) or local or distant metastases should receive systemic chemotherapy [6]. PET/CT of Distant Disease Distant disease dramatically affects prognosis and management. PET is particularly beneficial when IV iodinated contrast material for CT cannot be administered because of renal insufficiency, which may develop in patients with obstructive bladder cancer (Fig. 8). Common sites of metastatic disease include liver, lung, bone, adrenal gland, and intestine [7] (Fig. 9). Other sites are uncommon but can occur and may be highlighted by FDG avidity (Fig. 10). PET/CT of Recurrent Disease PET/CT has been increasingly used in monitoring patients with treated transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. PET has particular utility in the evaluation of cases in which interpretation of CT images is complicated by postsurgical and postradiation alterations [8] (Fig. 11). Transitional cell carcinoma has a predilection to seed at sites of intervention and may recur in needle tracks, laparoscopic port sites, and wounds and along drainage tubes, with a reported frequency of 0.1 4% [9, 10] (Fig. 12). The pelvic sidewall is also a common site for recurrent transitional cell carcinoma and should be scrutinized (Fig. 13). Conclusion Local evaluation of the primary tumor on PET is often limited by the obscuring effect of excreted FDG, but assessment of metabolic activity may still be possible through close correlation with CT images. PET/CT may also be helpful in the detection of disease outside the bladder at nodal or more distant sites and in the assessment of recurrent disease. References 1.
