Recurrent prostate cancer is usually treated by combining radiotherapy and androgen deprivation therapy. To stage the cancer, choline positron emission tomography (PET)/CT can be performed. It is generally thought that androgen deprivation therapy does not influence choline PET/CT. In this article we focus on the molecular backgrounds of choline and androgens, and the results of preclinical and clinical studies performed using PET/CT.
Using PubMed, we looked for the relevant articles about androgen deprivation therapy and choline PET/CT.
During ADT, a tendency of decreased uptake of choline in prostate cancer was observed, in particular in hormone-naïve patients.
We conclude that in order to prevent false-negative choline PET/CT scans androgen deprivation should be withheld prior to scanning, especially in hormone-naïve patients.
复发性前列腺癌通常通过放射治疗和雄激素剥夺疗法联合治疗。为了对癌症进行分期,可以进行胆碱正电子发射断层扫描(PET)/CT 检查。一般认为雄激素剥夺疗法不会影响胆碱 PET/CT。在本文中,我们重点介绍了胆碱和雄激素的分子背景,以及使用 PET/CT 进行的临床前和临床研究结果。
使用 PubMed,我们搜索了有关雄激素剥夺疗法和胆碱 PET/CT 的相关文章。
在 ADT 期间,观察到前列腺癌中胆碱摄取的趋势下降,特别是在激素初治患者中。
我们的结论是,为了防止胆碱 PET/CT 扫描出现假阴性,在扫描前应停止雄激素剥夺治疗,尤其是在激素初治患者中。
