3 Purpose and Audience Provide urologists, surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and other prostate cancer specialists with the following information to aid in the diagnosis and management of prostate cancer patients A summary of PET radiopharmaceuticals that are FDAapproved to image prostate cancer NCCN Practice Guidelines updates for using PET/CT in prostate cancer Recent Report from the National PET Registry (NOPR) Impact on patient management Oncologic
4 PET/CT in Prostate Cancer PET/CT plays an important role in the evaluation of prostate cancer on many levels Detecting metastatic disease Restaging Biochemical relapse post-radical therapy A biochemical relapse is one where, after completing treatment (e.g., prostatectomy), PSA begins rising again but the cancer cannot (yet) be detected by CT or MRI Treatment monitoring Use for primary staging generally limited to only high-risk disease Jadvar H. J Nucl Med 2013; 54(10):
5 FDA-Approved PET Radiopharmaceuticals for Prostate Cancer Tracers that image metabolism C-11 choline and F-18 fluciclovine Used to localize disease recurrence in men who have rising PSA and inconclusive conventional imaging F-18 FDG Used typically in patients with late-stage recurrent prostate cancer and elevated PSA Tracers that image bone F-18 NaF (sodium fluoride) Used to detect bone metastases
6 PET/CT in Prostate Cancer: NCCN Guidelines C-11 choline: Radioactive diagnostic agent for PET imaging of patients with suspected prostate cancer recurrence and noninformative bone scintigraphy, CT or MRI. In these patients, C-11 choline-pet/ct imaging may help identify potential sites of prostate cancer recurrence for subsequent histologic confirmation F-18 NaF: Newer technology using F-18 NaF for PET scanning can be used as a diagnostic staging study; appears to have greater sensitivity than Tc-99m bone scan for assessing bone metastasis F-18 FDG: In certain clinical settings, the use of F-18 FDG may provide useful information; F-18 FDG-PET/CT should not be used routinely since data on its utility in prostate cancer is limited F-18 fluciclovine: Indicated for PET imaging with suspected prostate cancer recurrence based on elevated blood PSA levels following prior treatment. (NOTE: FDA approved fluciclovine May 2016; it is not yet included in the NCCN guidelines.) NCCN Guidelines Prostate Cancer, Version accessed 3/8/16
7 Cancer Guidelines: Overview for Prostate Cancer Evaluation The NCCN guidelines have specific recommendations when using PET/CT imaging in prostate cancer: (1) primary disease, (2) biochemical recurrence and (3) advanced disease. Below is a sample of information taken from these guidelines. Please consult the NCCN website for their complete set of guidelines. cancer guidelines accessed 3/8/16
8 PET/CT in Prostate Cancer: Benefits of C-11 Choline Imaging CMS may reimburse the use of C-11 choline-pet/ct in biochemical failure (i.e., relapse of prostate cancer with inconclusive bone scan, CT and/or MRI) Contact your local MAC for your area s coverage decision Established tracer to identify progression to support more appropriate treatment options Shows soft tissue and osseous metastatic disease Availability varies due to half-life of 20 minutes Ceci F, et al. EJNMMI 2014; 41(12):
9 PET/CT in Prostate Cancer: Benefits of C-11 Choline Imaging CASE EXAMPLE: 74-year-old male with history of prostate cancer and definitive therapy now presenting with biochemical recurrence; CT and bone scan were negative. R L R L R L Results: C-11 choline-pet/ct revealed both soft tissue and osseous multifocal metastases
10 PET/CT in Prostate Cancer: C-11 Choline Imaging Data Recent publication: Ceci et al patients with recurrent prostate cancer Subjects having C-11 choline-pet/ct imaging resulted in 46.7% overall treatment change 14% did not undergo radiation due to distant mets 18% had a major clinical change (note: paper did not provide information on the reported change) Ceci F, et al.

J Nucl Med 2014; 55:
14 Impact of F-18 NaF on Prostate Cancer Management F-18 NaF-PET changed intended management in 77% of cases Initial no treatment decision revised to treatment in 77% Switch from initial staging [IS] to primary osseous metastization [POM] Therapy management changed in 44% to 52% Consideration for coverage request for F-18 NaF still under evaluation by CMS Hillner B, et al.

23 Important Safety Information Image interpretation errors can occur with PET imaging. A negative image does not rule out recurrent prostate cancer and a positive image does not confirm its presence. Clinical correlation, which may include histopathological evaluation, is recommended. The performance of F-18 fluciclovine and C-11 choline seem to be affected by PSA levels. For F-18 fluciclovine, uptake may occur with other cancers and benign prostatic hypertrophy in primary prostate cancer. Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, may occur in patients who receive PET radiopharmaceuticals. Emergency resuscitation equipment and personnel should be immediately available. PET/CT imaging contributes to a patient s overall long-term cumulative radiation exposure, which is associated with an increased risk of cancer. Safe handling practices should be used to minimize radiation exposure to the patient and healthcare providers. Adverse reactions, although uncommon, may occur when using PET radiopharmaceuticals. Always refer to the package insert prior to use.
