PSA (ng/ml) Predicting radionuclide bone scan findings in pts with newly diagnosed, untreated prostate cancer : PSA is superior to all other clinical parameters 521 pts with newly diagnosed, untreated Ca Pro age 70 (44 92) yrs 158 306 pts PSA 20 ng/ml ONLY 1 Bone Scan (+) 11,3 NPV (PSA<20) for BS 99.7% Chybowski FM et al, J Urol 1991
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 or moderately differentiated tumors Heidenreich A et al Eur Urol 2014

DIAGNOSIS & STAGING.. 3 Skeletal metastasis (M staging) is best assessed by bone scan.... In equivocal cases, 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-PET or PET/CT could be of value, especially to differentiate active metastases and healing bones. 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 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

THERANOSTICS Acronym of Therapeutics & Diagnostics epitomizes the inseparability of diagnosis and therapy Takes into account personalized management of disease for a specific patient Molecular phenotypes of neoplasms are determined by molecular imaging with specific probes using : - positron emission tomography (PET) - single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) - magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) - or optical methods The treatment is specifically targeted against the tumor Baum RP et al, Theranostics 2012

Ahmadzadefhar H et al. JNM 2017 63 pts, median age of 73 y, 307 cycles 223RaCl2 Before treatment : 31 pts bone scanning + radiologic imaging 32 pts, bone scanning + PSMA PET Conclusion: When PSMA PET is used as the gatekeeper in addition to bone scanning, radionuclide therapy with 223Ra may be more effective and have more success regarding changes in the PSA. An increase in PSA during therapy cycles occurs because of disease progression.

Information for healthcare professionals Xofigo must not be used with the anti-androgen Zytiga (abiraterone acetate) and prednisone/prednisolone because of possible increased risk of fractures and mortality. The safety and efficacy of Xofigo in combination with second generation androgen receptor antagonists such as Xtandi (enzalutamide) have not been established. Both medicines can continue to be used separately, in line with the recommendations in their product information. Further information will be made available once an ongoing review of the evidence is complete.
