PRINCIPLES OF IMAGING Imaging is performed for the detection and characterization of disease in order to : guide appropriate management Imaging studies should be performed based on : the best available clinical evidence and not influenced by : business or personal interests of the care provider
Predicting radionuclide bone scan findings in patients with newly diagnosed, untreated prostate cancer : PSA is superior to all other clinical parameters 521 randomly chosen pts mean age 70 (44 92) yrs Newly diagnosed, untreated prostate cancer Bone Scan (+) (-) PSA (ng/ml) 158.0 11.3 306 pts with PSA 20 ng/ml : ONLY 1 Bone Scan (+) PSA<20 - NPV for Bone Scan = 99.7% Chybowski FM et al, J Urol 1991
<1% bone Mets! * Downstream Procedures 21% x-rays 7% CT 3% MRI Annual estimated Medicare cost (BS + downstream procedures) $11,300,000 for low/intermediate-risk pts * High-risk pts : only 62% received a BS (14% with mets) Falchook AD et al, Int J Rad Oncol 2014

DIAGNOSIS & STAGING.... 3 Skeletal metastasis (M staging) is best assessed by bone scan. This may not be indicated in asymptomatic patients if the serum PSA level is <20 ng/ml in the presence of well-differentiated or moderately differentiated tumours. B In equivocal cases, 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-PET or PET/CT could be of value, especially to differentiate active metastases and healing bones. C Heidenreich A et al Eur Urol 2014

PET/CT ROLE IN PROSTATE CANCER PET/CT with choline tracers may identify sites of metastatic disease in pts with biochemical recurrence after primary treatment failure Further study is needed to determine the best use of choline PET/CT imaging in pts with prostate cancer Other choline radiotracers are under evaluation Data of the utility of 18F-FDG-PET/CT in pts with prostate cancer is limited Routine use of 18F-FDG PET/CT is not recommended at this time
PET/CT for prostate cancer not recommended not reimbursed not reimbursed 11C-CH 18F-FMCH 68Ga-PSMA not available 18F-FDG COST : 1458,42!!!
