To compare the diagnostic performance of the synthetic amino acid analogue PET radiotracer anti-3-[(18)F]FACBC (fluciclovine) with that of CT in the detection of recurrent prostate carcinoma.
This was a retrospective analysis of 53 bone scan-negative patients with suspected recurrent prostate carcinoma who underwent fluciclovine PET/CT and routine clinical CT within 90 days of each other. The correlation between imaging findings and histology and clinical follow-up was evaluated. Positivity rates and diagnostic performance were calculated for fluciclovine PET/CT and CT.
Of 53 fluciclovine PET/CT and 53 CT examinations, 41 (77.4 %) and 10 (18.9 %), respectively, had positive findings for recurrent disease. Positivity rates were higher with fluciclovine PET/CT than with CT at all prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, PSA doubling times and original Gleason scores. In the prostate/bed, fluciclovine PET/CT was true-positive in 31 and CT was true-positive in 4 of 51 patients who met the reference standard. In extraprostatic regions, fluciclovine PET/CT was true-positive in 12 and CT was true-positive in 3 of 41 patients who met the reference standard. Of the 43 index lesions used to prove positivity, 42 (97.7 %) had histological proof. In 51 patients with sufficient follow-up to calculate diagnostic performance in the prostate/bed, fluciclovine PET/CT demonstrated a sensitivity of 88.6 %, a specificity of 56.3 %, an accuracy of 78.4 %, a positive predictive value (PPV) of 81.6 %, and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 69.2 %; the respective values for CT were 11.4 %, 87.5 %, 35.3 %, 66.7 % and 31.1 %. In 41 patients with sufficient follow-up to calculate diagnostic performance in extraprostatic regions, fluciclovine PET/CT demonstrated a sensitivity of 46.2 %, a specificity of 100 %, an accuracy of 65.9 %, a PPV of 100 %, and an NPV of 51.7 %; the respective values for CT were 11.5 %, 100 %, 43.9 %, 100 % and 39.5 %.
The diagnostic performance of fluciclovine PET/CT in recurrent prostate cancer is superior to that of CT and fluciclovine PET/CT provides better delineation of prostatic from extraprostatic recurrence.
比较合成氨基酸类似物PET放射性示踪剂抗-3-[(18)F]FACBC(氟西克洛维)与CT在检测复发性前列腺癌中的诊断性能。
对53例骨扫描阴性且疑似复发性前列腺癌的患者进行回顾性分析,这些患者在彼此90天内接受了氟西克洛维PET/CT和常规临床CT检查。评估影像学表现与组织学及临床随访之间的相关性。计算氟西克洛维PET/CT和CT的阳性率及诊断性能。
在53例氟西克洛维PET/CT检查和53例CT检查中,分别有41例(77.4%)和10例(18.9%)发现复发性疾病阳性结果。在所有前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)水平、PSA倍增时间和初始Gleason评分中,氟西克洛维PET/CT的阳性率均高于CT。在前列腺/前列腺床,符合参考标准的51例患者中,氟西克洛维PET/CT真阳性31例,CT真阳性4例。在前列腺外区域,符合参考标准的41例患者中,氟西克洛维PET/CT真阳性12例,CT真阳性3例。用于证实阳性的43个索引病变中,42个(97.7%)有组织学证据。在51例有足够随访时间以计算前列腺/前列腺床诊断性能的患者中,氟西克洛维PET/CT的敏感性为88.6%,特异性为56.3%,准确性为78.4%,阳性预测值(PPV)为81.6%,阴性预测值(NPV)为69.2%;CT的相应值分别为11.4%、87.5%、35.3%、66.7%和31.(此处原文有误,推测应为31.1%)。在41例有足够随访时间以计算前列腺外区域诊断性能的患者中,氟西克洛维PET/CT的敏感性为46.2%,特异性为100%,准确性为65.9%,PPV为100%,NPV为51.7%;CT的相应值分别为11.5%、100%、43.9%、100%和39.5%。
氟西克洛维PET/CT在复发性前列腺癌中的诊断性能优于CT,且氟西克洛维PET/CT能更好地区分前列腺内复发与前列腺外复发。
