Stability of standardized uptake values for quantitative bone SPECT for jawbone lesions: a single-center cross-sectional study. BMC Oral Health 2024; 24:305. [PMID: 38443942 PMCID: PMC10913536 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-024-04067-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2023] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/07/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The long time required for bone uptake of radiopharmaceutical material after injection for bone scintigraphy is a burden for patients with poor health. Thus, to assess whether the uptake time could be reduced for single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) of the jawbone, this study evaluated differences in maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) within patients using SPECT imaging at 2 and 3 hours after radiopharmaceutical injection. METHODS A total of 33 patients undergoing treatment or in post-treatment follow-up for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, who visited our hospital between July 2020 and August 2021 and could receive SPECT twice on the same day, were enrolled in the study. Patients were injected with technetium-99 m hydroxymethylene diphosphonate (Tc-99 m HMDP) intravenously. The SUVmax for healthy parietal bones and jawbone lesions were calculated from the SPECT images using quantitative analysis software, and the SUVmax were compared between 2- and 3-hour uptake times. RESULTS After exclusion, 30 patients were included in the study. In the 2-hour and 3-hour images, the median SUVmax of the parietal bones were 1.90 and 1.81, respectively, and those of the jawbone lesions were 9.25 and 9.39, respectively. The limits of agreement (LOA) ranged from - 0.33 to 0.25 in the parietal bones, and the %LOA ranged from - 9.8 to 17.3% in the jawbone lesions, showing high equivalence between the two uptake durations. The SUVmax showed no clinical differences between the 2- and 3-hour uptake durations for Tc-99 m HMDP SPECT of the jawbone. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study justify a 2-3-hour uptake window when performing quantitative SPECT of the jawbone. Therefore, the minimum uptake time can potentially be reduced to only 2 hours.

Abstract
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) as a transmembrane protein is overexpressed by prostate cancer (PC) cells and is accessible for binding antibodies or low-molecular-weight radioligands due to its extracellular portion. Successful targeting of PSMA began with the development of humanized J591 antibody. Due to their faster clearance compared to antibodies, small-molecule radioligands for targeted imaging and therapy of PC have been favored in recent development efforts. PSMA positron emission tomography (PET) imaging has higher diagnostic performance than conventional imaging for initial staging of high-risk PC and biochemical recurrence detection/localization. However, it remains to be demonstrated how to integrate PSMA PET imaging for therapy response assessment and as an outcome endpoint measure in clinical trials. With the recent approval of 177Lu-PSMA-617 by the US Food and Drug Administration for metastatic castration-resistant PC progressing after chemotherapy, the high value of PSMA-targeted therapy was confirmed. Compared to standard of care, PSMA-based radioligand therapy led to a better outcome and a higher quality of life. This review, focusing on the advanced PC setting, provides an overview of different approved and nonapproved PSMA-targeted imaging and therapeutic modalities and discusses the future of PSMA-targeted theranostics, also with an outlook on non-radiopharmaceutical-based PSMA-targeted therapies.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the prognostic value of the quantitative assessment of 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP) bone SPECT/CT in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients with bone metastases. METHODS A total of 103 patients who underwent 99mTc-MDP bone SPECT/CT imaging from the neck to the proximal femur were included. First, in 65 patients without bone metastases, the normal range of standardized uptake value (SUV) of non-pathological bone was evaluated to determine an SUV threshold to reliably exclude most normal osseous activity. Then, in 38 CRPC patients with bone metastases, lesion uptake volume (LUV), which is the extracted volume of bone metastases exhibiting high accumulation above the SUV threshold, was calculated. The relation between LUV and prostate-related mortality was statistically evaluated. RESULTS Based on the SUV measurements of non-pathological bones, the optimal SUV threshold, which defines abnormal bone SPECT uptake, was determined to be 8. Median LUV was 39 mL (interquartile range 4.0-104.3 mL) in the CRPC subjects with bone metastases. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed a significant relation between prostate cancer-specific survival and LUV (cut-off value, 19.95 mL; P = 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed LUV as an independent prognostic factor for the survival (P = 0.008, hazard ratio 23.424). Global chi-square test showed that LUV had significant incremental prognostic value in addition to prostate-specific antigen and the interval from progression to CRPC until bone SPECT/CT (P = 0.022). CONCLUSION Quantitative assessment of 99mTc-MDP bone SPECT images can provide valuable prognostic information in CRPC patients with bone metastases.

Development of a Prognostic Model of Overall Survival for Metastatic Hormone-Naïve Prostate Cancer in Japanese Men. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14194822.

Abstract
Simple Summary Treatment strategies have changed dramatically in recent years with the development of a variety of agents for metastatic hormone-naïve prostate cancer. There is a need to identify prognostic factors for the appropriate choice of treatment for patients with hormone-naïve prostate cancer in Japanese men. Among the prostate cancer patients receiving treatment at our institution from 2000 to 2019, 198 patients with bone or visceral metastases at the initial diagnosis were included in the study. We retrospectively examined these factors of the overall survival, and identified Gleason pattern 5 content, bone scan index ≥ 1.5, and lactate dehydrogenase evels ≥ 300 IU/L as prognostic factors. Using these three factors, we developed a new prognostic model for overall survival that can more objectively predict the prognosis of patients simply and objectively. Abstract Background: Treatment strategies have changed dramatically in recent years with the development of a variety of agents for metastatic hormone-naïve prostate cancer (mHNPC). There is a need to identify prognostic factors for the appropriate choice of treatment for patients with mHNPC, and we retrospectively examined these factors. Methods: Patients with mHNPC treated at our institution from 2000 to 2019 were included in this study. Overall survival (OS) was estimated retrospectively using the Kaplan–Meier method, and factors associated with OS were identified using univariate and multivariate analyses. A prognostic model was then developed based on the factors identified. Follow-up was terminated on 24 October 2021. Results: The median follow-up duration was 44.2 months, whereas the median OS was 85.2 months, with 88 patients succumbing to their disease. Multivariate analysis identified Gleason pattern (GP) 5 content, bone scan index (BSI) ≥ 1.5, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels ≥ 300 IU/L as prognostic factors associated with OS. We also developed a prognostic model that classified patients with mHNPC as low risk with no factor, intermediate risk with one factor, and high risk with two or three factors. Conclusions: Three prognostic factors for OS were identified in patients with mHNPC, namely GP5 inclusion, BSI ≥ 1.5, and LDH ≥ 300. Using these three factors, we developed a new prognostic model for OS that can more objectively predict patient prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Assessing the extent of bone metastases in patients with prostate cancer is very important to predict patient prognosis. Therefore, the bone scan index (BSI), which is easy to use, has been used; however, the accuracy is not that high. In this study, we proposed a new index for the extent of bone disease using single-photon emission computed tomography with computed tomography (SPECT/CT) images and assessed the accuracy of calculation. METHODS In this study, a total of 46 bone scans from 12 patients with prostate cancer treated for bone metastases with Radium-223 were included. Whole-body planar images were obtained 150-180 min after an intravenous injection of 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate, and cervical-to-pelvic SPECT/CT was immediately obtained. The total bone volume (TBV) and regional metabolic bone volume (MBV) were defined as Hounsfield unit of > 120, standardized uptake value (SUV) of > 0.5, and SUV of > 5-8 in four levels, respectively. Bone metabolism volumetric index (BMVI) was calculated as the percentage of the total MBV divided by TBV. The variability of the TBV measurement was evaluated by the percentage coefficient of variance (%CV) of TBV within individual patients. We evaluated the correlation of TBV with age, height, weight, and body mass index and the correlation and agreement between BSI and BMVI. RESULTS The mean and %CV of TBV were 4661.7 cm3 and 2.8%, respectively, and TBV was strongly correlated with body weight. BMVI was significantly higher than BSI and correlated with alkaline phosphatase. For patients with progressive bone metastases, BSI was clearly underestimated, whereas BMVI was elevated. CONCLUSIONS Although assessed in a small number of cases, the new index for assessing the extent of bone disease using SPECT/CT imaging was highly value than BSI and was significantly correlated with alkaline phosphatase. Therefore, this study suggests that BMVI could improve the low sensitivity of BSI in patients with low extent of disease grade.

Abstract
Technetium-99m methyl diphosphonate bone scintigraphy is relatively easily accessible for detecting bone metastases in prostate cancer patients. However, it is subjective and can be challenging to compare images taken at different time points. The bone scan index (BSI) is a more objective evaluation and allows for better comparison of images. Its correlation with other biomarkers of prostate cancer metastases such as prostate specific antigen (PSA) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is not clearly understood. This study thus aimed to compare the BSI correlation to PSA against that of BSI to ALP levels in patients with a Gleason score ≥7.A retrospective analysis of the medical records of 50 prostate cancer patients with a Gleason score of ≥7 referred for a bone scan between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2018 was undertaken. Bone scans were interpreted visually, and using a semi-automated computer programme to quantify the BSI and its relation to PSA and ALP measurements.For the metastasis positive measurements, there was a statistically significant moderate positive overall linear correlation between BSI and PSA. For ALP and BSI, there were 2 segmented strong positive linear relationships between them. The first segment consisted of ALP < 375 IU/L and BSI >10%, where ALP and BSI were strongly and positively correlated. The other segment tended to have generally low BSI measurements (<10%) and also had a strong and positive correlation.The BSI was found to be better linearly correlated with ALP than PSA.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most diagnosed cancer in men. Patients with PCa often develop metastases, with more than 80% of this metastases occurring in bone. The most common imaging technique used for screening, diagnosis and follow-up of disease evolution is bone scintigraphy, due to its high sensitivity and widespread availability at nuclear medicine facilities. To date, the assessment of bone scans relies solely on the interpretation of an expert physician who visually assesses the scan. Besides this being a time consuming task, it is also subjective, as there is no absolute criteria neither to identify bone metastases neither to quantify them by a straightforward and universally accepted procedure. In this paper, a new algorithm for the false positives reduction of automatically detected hotspots in bone scintigraphy images is proposed. The motivation relies in the difficulty of building a fully annotated database. In this way, our algorithm is a semisupervised method that works in an iterative way. The ultimate goal is to provide the physician with a fast, precise and reliable tool to quantify bone scans and evaluate disease progression and response to treatment. The algorithm is tested in a set of bone scans manually labeled according to the patient's medical record. The achieved classification sensitivity, specificity and false negative rate were 63%, 58% and 37%, respectively. Comparison with other state-of-the-art classification algorithms shows superiority of the proposed method.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although bone metastasis beyond the vertebrae and pelvis has been a key factor in prognostic models of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), the clinical significance of it is still unclear. The present study evaluated the prognostic impact of the volume of bone metastasis beyond the vertebrae and pelvis on the outcomes of mHSPC and created an ideal risk classification based on it. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 197 patients with mHSPC who were treated with combined androgen blockade as the initial treatment between June 2003 and October 2019. We calculated the bone scan index (BSI), including the BSI beyond the vertebrae and pelvis (bBSI), using BONENAVI, and investigated the association between the BSI and the overall survival (OS) of mHSPC. RESULTS According to the CHAARTED criteria, 91 and 106 patients were classified into the low- and high-volume groups, respectively. Of the 79 patients who did not have visceral metastasis in the high-volume group, those with a bBSI ≤ 0.27 (n = 16) showed a favorable OS, as did those in the low-volume group. The modified CHAARTED high-volume group (presence of visceral metastases or 4 bone lesions with a bBSI > 0.27) showed a significantly shorter OS than others, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 4.69 (p < 0.001), which was higher than that observed with the original CHAARTED criteria (HR = 4.33). CONCLUSIONS Our data suggested that considering the volume of bone metastasis beyond the vertebrae and pelvis may help to improve the accuracy of risk classification. Further large-scale prospective studies are needed to validate our findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Up to 90% of men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) will have a distribution of disease that includes bone metastases demonstrated on a Technetium-99m (99mTc-MDP) bone scan. The Prostate Cancer Working Group 2 and 3 Consensus Criteria standardized the criteria for assessing progression based on the development of new lesions. These criteria have been recognized by regulatory authorities for drug approval. The bone scan index (BSI) is a method to quantitatively measure the burden of bony disease, and can assess both disease progression and regression. The automated BSI (aBSI) is a method of computer analysis to assess BSI, and is being qualified as a clinical trials endpoint. METHODS Manual searching was used to identify the literature on BSI and aBSI. We summarize the most relevant aspects of the retrospective and prospective studies evaluating aBSI measurements, and provide a critical discussion on the potential advantages and caveats of aBSI. RESULTS The development of neural artificial networks (EXINI boneBSI) to automatically determine the BSI reduces the turnaround time for assessing BSI with high reproducibility and accuracy. Several studies showed that the concordance between aBSI and BSI, as well as the interobserver concordance of aBSI, was >0.95. In a phase 3 assessment of aBSI, a doubling value increased the risk of death in 20%, pre-treatment aBSI values independently correlated with overall survival (OS) and time to symptomatic progression. Retrospective studies suggest that a decrease in aBSI after treatment may correlate with higher survival when compared with increasing aBSI. CONCLUSIONS aBSI provides a quantitative measurement that is feasible, reproducible, and in analyses to date correlates with OS and symptomatic progression. These findings support the aBSI to risk-stratify men with mCRPC for clinical trial enrollment. Future studies quantifying aBSI change over time as an intermediate endpoint for evaluating new systemic therapies are needed.

Development and Validation of a Novel Prognostic Model for Predicting Overall Survival in Treatment-naïve Castration-sensitive Metastatic Prostate Cancer. Eur Urol Oncol 2018; 2:320-328. [PMID: 31200847 DOI: 10.1016/j.euo.2018.10.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2018] [Revised: 10/17/2018] [Accepted: 10/31/2018] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There has been growth in the treatment options for castration-sensitive metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa), but without clear guidance for risk stratification. OBJECTIVE To identify clinical parameters associated with overall survival (OS) and establish a prognostic model for use with treatment-naïve castration-sensitive mPCa. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A retrospective review of 304 patients treated at Kyoto University Hospital was performed. A prognostic model was created using clinical parameters associated with OS. The model was externally validated in an independent cohort of 520 patients. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Multivariable analysis was performed to identify the clinical parameters associated with OS. Risk scores were calculated using Cox proportional hazards analysis for each combination of risk factors, and patients were grouped into categories based on those scores. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS Over 80% of the cohort had a Gleason sum score ≥8. The median OS was 53mo among patients with CHAARTED high-volume PCa (n=172) and 131mo among those with low-volume PCa (n=100). Independent factors associated with OS were extent of disease score ≥2 or the presence of liver metastasis; lactate dehydrogenase >250U/L; and a primary Gleason score of 5. The median OS for the high-, intermediate-, and low-risk groups according to the new model were 28mo, 59mo, and not reached, respectively; the corresponding values in the validation cohort were 41mo, 63mo, and not reached. Harrell's C-index was 0.649. CONCLUSIONS Our simple and reproducible prognostic model for treatment-naïve castration-sensitive mPCa could aid in risk stratification and treatment selection. PATIENT SUMMARY We identified clinical parameters associated with prognosis in castration-sensitive metastatic prostate cancer and established a reproducible prognostic model that could be used to guide treatment decisions.

Abstract
Background Less evidence is known about the role of early changes in serum biomarker after androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Here we evaluated the impact of pre-treatment prognostic factors and early changes in serum biomarkers on prostate specific antigen (PSA) progression-free and overall survival rates in mHSPC. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 60 mHSPC patients (median age 72 years) treated with ADT whose laboratory data at baseline and following 12 weeks were available. Results Forty-four patients (73%) had PSA progression and 27 patients (45.0%) died during a median follow-up of 34 months. The multivariable Cox hazard model demonstrated that a log-transformed baseline PSA level (p = 0.003) and an extent of bone disease (EOD) score of ≥3 (p = 0.004) were statistically associated with an increased risk for PSA progression whereas one unit increase in a log-transformed PSA change (baseline-12 weeks) was associated with a decreased risk for PSA progression (p = 0.004). For overall survival, a high level of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) at 12 weeks was associated with increased risk (p = 0.030) whereas a one-unit increase in the log-transformed PSA change was associated with decreased risk (p = 0.001). Conclusions An increased level of PSA at baseline, or an EOD score of ≥3 may be a good predictor of PSA progression, and a high level of ALP at 12 weeks may be a risk predictor of death. A larger decline in PSA at 12 weeks from the baseline was associated with both PSA progression-free and overall survival time. Early changes in serum biomarkers may be useful in predicting poor outcomes in patients with mHSPC who are initially treated with ADT.

Abstract
Background A computer-assisted diagnostic system for analyzing bone scans (BONENAVI) calculates the automated bone scan index (aBSI). Here we evaluated the aBSI as a prognostic imaging biomarker for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) treated with cabazitaxel. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 48 patients who received cabazitaxel for mCRPC and evaluated the ability of the aBSI to predict overall survival (OS). The Cox proportional hazards model was used to investigate the associations between baseline aBSI at cabazitaxel treatment and OS with the clinical variables as follows: age, number of cycles of docetaxel, serum prostate-specific antigen, hemoglobin (Hb), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and alkaline phosphatase. We determined the C-index to evaluate the discriminatory ability of our models when we included or excluded the aBSI from the analyses. Results The median OS after cabazitaxel treatment was 10.0 months, and patients with aBSI ≤1% achieved significantly longer OS compared with patients with aBSI ≥1%. Multivariate analysis showed that age, Hb, LDH, and aBSI were independent prognostic factors of OS. Adding aBSI to the base model increased the C-index from 0.78 to 0.80. Conclusions The aBSI may serve as a useful imaging biomarker for predicting OS among men with mCRPC treated with cabazitaxel. Prospective studies are required to establish the value of aBSI as prognostic imaging biomarker.

Abstract
Bone Scan Index (BSI) is a validated imaging biomarker to objectively assess tumour burden in bone in patients with prostate cancer, and can be used to monitor treatment response. It is not known if BSI is significantly altered when images are acquired at a time difference of 1 h. The aim of this study was to investigate if automatic calculation of BSI is affected when images are acquired 1 hour apart, after approximately 3 and 4 h. We prospectively studied patients with prostate cancer who were referred for bone scintigraphy according to clinical routine. The patients performed a whole-body bone scan at approximately 3 h after injection of radiolabelled bisphosphonate and a second 1 h after the first. BSI values for each bone scintigraphy were obtained using EXINI boneBSI software. A total of 25 patients were included. Median BSI for the first acquisition was 0·05 (range 0-11·93) and for the second acquisition 0·21 (range 0-13·06). There was a statistically significant increase in BSI at the second image acquisition compared to the first (P<0·001). In seven of 25 patients (28%) and in seven of 13 patients with BSI > 0 (54%), a clinically significant increase (>0·3) was observed. The time between injection and scanning should be fixed when changes in BSI are important, for example when monitoring therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Background The prognostic value of the bone scan index (BSI) in metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa) remained controversial. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to determine the predictive value of BSI and survival in patients with mPCa. Materials and Methods A literature search was performed in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane library databases. Hazard ratios (HRs), concordance indices (C-indices) were extracted to estimate the relationship between BSI and survival in patients with mPCa. Subgroup analyses were conducted on different types of mPCa, ethnics, cut-off values and sample sizes. Results 14 high quality studies involving 1295 patients with mPCa were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled results indicated that high basline BSI and elevated BSI change on treatment (ΔBSI) were significantly predictive of poor overall survial (HR = 1.29, P < 0.001; HR = 1.27, P < 0.001, respectively). Baseline BSI was also significantly related to cancer specific survival (HR = 1.65, P = 0.019) and prostate specific antigen recurrence survival (HR = 2.26, P < 0.001). Subgroup analysis supported main results. Moreover, BSI could increase the C-indices of predictive models. Conclusions Baseline BSI and ΔBSI may be beneficial to mPCa prognosis in clinical monitor and treatment. Further high quality studies with larger sample size are required in the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To prospectively determine the prognostic value of the bone scan index (BSI) for time to development of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) in consecutive, hormone-naïve patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eligible patients participated in a prospective, observational, multicenter study of the value of bone scintigraphy (BS) at staging. BSI was determined using the EXINI BoneBSI software in 208 consecutive patients undergoing androgen deprivation therapy. The presence or absence of bone metastases at staging was classified by BS with or without supplementary imaging. Follow-up was performed >5 years after including the last patient. RESULTS During follow-up, 149 of the 208 patients (72%) were diagnosed with CRPC. Median time to CRPC was 20 months. Median follow-up time was 4.4 years in patients without CRPC. In univariate analyses, presence of bone metastases (M1) (hazard ratio [HR] 3.00, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.10-4.30), Gleason grade (HR 1.53, 95% CI 1.31-1.79), and BSI (HR 1.17, 95% CI 1.12-1.23) but not PSA significantly predicted time to CRPC (all, P < .001). The predictive values of M1 (HR 2.06), Gleason grade (HR 1.47), and BSI (HR 1.10) were confirmed in multivariate analyses. Log-rank test for equality of time to CRPC showed the significant predictive value of BSI (BSI = 0 vs 0 < BSI ≤ 1 vs BSI > 1, P < .001). In addition to routine assessment of M1 vs M0 status, BSI contributed to the predictive power. CONCLUSIONS BSI is an independent risk factor for the time from initiation of androgen deprivation therapy to CRPC in hormone-naïve patients. The significant prognostic factors, in rank order, were M1 status, Gleason grade, and BSI.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to compare the agreement of the bone scan index (BSI) using EXINI BoneBSI versus experts’ readings in the initial staging for bone metastasis in prostate cancer. In addition, the diagnostic outcome was assessed in a large subset of patients where a true reference for metastases could be determined based on clinical and biochemical follow-up and/or supplementary imaging. Methods A total of 342 patients had a bone scintigraphy as part of routine staging for prostate cancer. Supplementary imaging was obtained at the discretion of the referring urologist. After full recruitment, the BSI and the number of malignant lesions were calculated using EXINI BoneBSI, and three imaging experts independently classified bone status by a dichotomous outcome (M1 for bone metastasis, M0 for no bone metastasis). A true reference was available in a subset of the patients based on post-operative prostate-specific antigen responses after radical prostatectomy and/or supplementary imaging. Results Software analysis with a BSI > 0 as the cut-off for metastasis showed excellent agreement with expert classification for M1 disease (96% of the patients) but modest agreement for M0 disease (38%). With a BSI > 1, the agreement was 58% for M1 and 98% for M0. Software analyses based on individual European Association of Urology risk classification did not improve the diagnostic performance. Among patients with a true reference, the software showed metastasis in 64% of the M0 patients but correctly classified metastases in all M1 patients. The sensitivity was 100%, the specificity was 36%, the positive predictive value was 12.6% and the negative predictive value was 100% with a BSI >0 compared with 66.7%, 97.8%, 72.7%, and 97.0% with a BSI > 1. Conclusion The diagnostic value of using EXINI Bone for the BSI in the staging of newly diagnosed prostate cancer is limited.

Repeatability of quantitative parameters of 18F-fluoride PET/CT and biochemical tumour and specific bone remodelling markers in prostate cancer bone metastases. EJNMMI Res 2017; 7:42. [PMID: 28508284 PMCID: PMC5432456 DOI: 10.1186/s13550-017-0289-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2017] [Accepted: 05/08/2017] [Indexed: 01/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose 18F-fluoride PET/CT exhibits high sensitivity to delineate and measure the extent of bone metastatic disease in patients with prostate cancer. 18F-fluoride PET/CT could potentially replace traditional bone scintigraphy in clinical routine and trials. However, more studies are needed to assess repeatability and biological uptake variation. The aim of this study was to perform test-retest analysis of quantitative PET-derived parameters and blood/serum bone turnover markers at the same time point. Ten patients with prostate cancer and verified bone metastases were prospectively included. All underwent two serial 18F-fluoride PET/CT at 1 h post-injection. Up to five dominant index lesions and whole-body 18F-fluoride skeletal tumour burden were recorded per patient. Lesion-based PET parameters were SUVmax, SUVmean and functional tumour volume applying a VOI with 50% threshold (FTV50%). The total skeletal tumour burden, total lesion 18F-fluoride (TLF), was calculated using a threshold of SUV of ≥15. Blood/serum biochemical bone turnover markers obtained at the time of each PET were PSA, ALP, S-osteocalcin, S-beta-CTx, 1CTP and BAP. Results A total of 47 index lesions and a range of 2–122 bone metastases per patient were evaluated. Median time between 18F-fluoride PET/CT was 7 days (range 6–8 days). Repeatability coefficients were for SUVmax 26%, SUVmean 24%, FTV50% for index lesions 23% and total skeletal tumour burden (TLF) 35%. Biochemical bone marker repeatability coefficients were for PSA 19%, ALP 23%, S-osteocalcin 18%, S-beta-CTx 22%, 1CTP 18% and BAP 23%. Conclusions Quantitative 18F-fluoride uptake and simultaneous biochemical bone markers measurements are reproducible for prostate cancer metastases and show similar magnitude in test-retest variation.

Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging 2017; 44:620-629. [PMID: 27770145 PMCID: PMC5323472 DOI: 10.1007/s00259-016-3543-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2016] [Accepted: 09/30/2016] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the role of patient-specific dosimetry as a predictive marker of survival and as a potential tool for individualised molecular radiotherapy treatment planning of bone metastases from castration-resistant prostate cancer, and to assess whether higher administered levels of activity are associated with a survival benefit. METHODS Clinical data from 57 patients who received 2.5-5.1 GBq of 186Re-HEDP as part of NIH-funded phase I/II clinical trials were analysed. Whole-body and SPECT-based absorbed doses to the whole body and bone lesions were calculated for 22 patients receiving 5 GBq. The patient mean absorbed dose was defined as the mean of all bone lesion-absorbed doses in any given patient. Kaplan-Meier curves, log-rank tests, Cox's proportional hazards model and Pearson's correlation coefficients were used for overall survival (OS) and correlation analyses. RESULTS A statistically significantly longer OS was associated with administered activities above 3.5 GBq in the 57 patients (20.1 vs 7.1 months, hazard ratio: 0.39, 95 % CI: 0.10-0.58, P = 0.002). A total of 379 bone lesions were identified in 22 patients. The mean of the patient mean absorbed dose was 19 (±6) Gy and the mean of the whole-body absorbed dose was 0.33 (±0.11) Gy for the 22 patients. The patient mean absorbed dose (r = 0.65, P = 0.001) and the whole-body absorbed dose (r = 0.63, P = 0.002) showed a positive correlation with disease volume. Significant differences in OS were observed for the univariate group analyses according to disease volume as measured from SPECT imaging of 186Re-HEDP (P = 0.03) and patient mean absorbed dose (P = 0.01), whilst only the disease volume remained significant in a multivariable analysis (P = 0.004). CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that higher administered activities led to prolonged survival and that for a fixed administered activity, the whole-body and patient mean absorbed doses correlated with the extent of disease, which, in turn, correlated with survival. This study shows the importance of patient stratification to establish absorbed dose-response correlations and indicates the potential to individualise treatment of bone metastases with radiopharmaceuticals according to patient-specific imaging and dosimetry.

Tools for Predicting Clinical and Patient-reported Outcomes in Prostate Cancer Patients Undergoing Androgen Deprivation Therapy: A Systematic Review of Prognostic Accuracy and Validity. Clin Genitourin Cancer 2017; 15:629-634.e8. [PMID: 28576416 DOI: 10.1016/j.clgc.2017.03.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2017] [Revised: 03/17/2017] [Accepted: 03/18/2017] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) can result in a range of adverse symptoms that reduce patients' quality of life. Careful patient counseling on the likely clinical outcomes and adverse effects is therefore vital. The present systematic review was undertaken to identify and characterize all the tools used for the prediction of clinical and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in patients with prostate cancer undergoing ADT. PubMed and EMBASE were systematically searched from 2007 to 2016. Search terms related to the inclusion criteria were: prostate cancer, clinical outcomes, PROMs, ADT, and prognosis. Titles and abstracts were reviewed to find relevant studies, which were advanced to full-text review. The reference lists were screened for additional studies. The Centre for Evidence Based Medicine critical appraisal of prognostic studies tool was applied. The search strategy identified 8755 studies. Of the 8755 studies, 22 on clinical outcomes were identified. However, no studies of PROMs were found. Nine tools could be used to predict clinical outcomes in treatment-naive patients and 10 in patients with recurrence. The Japan Cancer of the Prostate Risk Assessment (J-CAPRA) nomogram was the best performing and validated tool for the prediction of clinical outcomes in treatment-naive patients, and the Chi and Shamash prognostic indexes have been validated for use in patients with castration-resistant disease in different clinical contexts. Using the J-CAPRA nomogram should help clinicians deliver accurate, evidence-based counseling to patients undergoing primary ADT. A strong need exists for primary studies that derive and validate tools for the prediction of PROMs in patients undergoing ADT under any circumstance because these are currently absent from the literature.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bone scan index (BSI) is an objective tool for quantifying bone metastasis load. We assessed its prognostic usefulness in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) treated with enzalutamide (ENZ) or abiraterone acetate (AA). MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed 40 patients who received ENZ or AA treatment (ENZ/AA) for metastatic CRPC. The Cox proportional hazards model and a C-index were used to investigate associations between overall survival (OS) and BSI, and patient age, prostate-specific antigen, time to CRPC, previous docetaxel use, and pain. RESULTS Median OS after ENZ/AA was 17.8 months. All patient deaths (n = 19; 47.5%) were from prostate cancer. In multivariate analysis, decreased BSI was an independent predictor for longer OS (hazard ratio, 8.97; P = .011). Inclusion of BSI improved the C-index from 0.721 to 0.792 in predicting OS after ENZ/AA. CONCLUSIONS Decreased BSI after ENZ/AA independently predicts longer OS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The bone scan index (BSI) using a computer-aided diagnosis system for bone scans is expected to be an objective and quantitative clinical tool for evaluating bone metastatic prostate cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the pretreatment BSI as a prognostic factor in hormone-naive prostate cancer patients with bone metastases. METHODS The study included 60 patients with hormone-naive, bone metastatic prostate cancer that was initially treated with combined androgen blockade therapy. The BONENAVI system was used for calculating the BSI. We evaluated the correlation between overall survival (OS) and pretreatment clinicopathological characteristics, including patients' age, initial prostate-specific antigen (PSA) value, Gleason scores, clinical TNM stage, and the BSI. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS The median follow-up duration was 21.4 months. Clinical or PSA progression occurred in 37 (61.7%) patients and 18 (30.0%) received docetaxel. Death occurred in 16 (26.7%) patients. Of these deaths, 15 (25.0%) were due to prostate cancer. The median OS was not reached. In multivariate analysis, age and the BSI were independent prognostic factors for OS. We evaluated the discriminatory ability of our models, including or excluding BSI by quantifying the C-index. The BSI improved the C-index from 0.751 to 0.801 for OS. Median OS was not reached in patients with a BSI ≤ 1.9 and median OS was 34.8 months in patients with a BSI >1.9 (p = 0.039). CONCLUSIONS The pretreatment BSI and patients' age are independent prognostic factors for patients with hormone-naive, bone metastatic prostate cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The bone scan index (BSI), which is obtained using a computer-aided bone scan evaluation system, is anticipated to become an objective and quantitative clinical tool for evaluating bone metastases in prostate cancer. Here, we assessed the usefulness of the BSI as a prognostic factor in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) treated using docetaxel. METHODS We analyzed 41 patients who received docetaxel for mCRPC. The Bonenavi system was used as the calculation program for the BSI. The utility of the BSI as a predictor of overall survival (OS) after docetaxel was evaluated. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to investigate the association between clinical variables obtained at docetaxel treatment, namely PSA, patient age, liver metastasis, local therapy, hemoglobin (Hb), lactase dehydrogenase (LDH), albumin (Alb), PSA doubling time, and BSI and OS. RESULTS The median OS after docetaxel therapy was 17.7 months. Death occurred in 22 (53.7%) patients; all deaths were caused by prostate cancer. In multivariate analysis, three factors were identified as significant independent prognostic biomarkers for OS after docetaxel; these were liver metastases (yes vs no; HR, 3.681; p = 0.026), Alb (<3.9 vs ≥ 3.9; HR, 3.776; p = 0.020), and BSI (>1% vs ≤ 1%; HR, 3.356; p = 0.037). We evaluated the discriminatory ability of our models including or excluding the BSI by quantifying the c-index. The BSI improved the c-index from 0.758 to 0.769 for OS after docetaxel. CRPC patients with a BSI >1 had a significantly shorter OS than patients with a BSI ≤ 1 (p = 0.029). CONCLUSIONS The BSI, liver metastases and Alb were independent prognostic factors for OS after docetaxel. The BSI might be a useful tool for risk stratification of mCRPC patients undergoing docetaxel treatment.
