Quantitative assessment of metabolic tumor burden in molecular subtypes of primary breast cancer with FDG PET/CT
摘要： We aimed to quantitatively evaluate volumetric metabolic tumor burden including metabolic tumor volume and total lesion glycolysis in different molecular subtypes of breast cancer using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/ computed tomography (PET/CT). This study involved 99 female patients with pathologic diagnosis of primary breast cancer, who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT before any therapy. Patients were divided into subtypes of luminal A, luminal B, ERBB2+, and basal-like based on the immunohistochemistry results. Metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) before and after correction for lean body mass were achieved and compared. Correlations between metabolic tumor burden and Ki-67 were analyzed and diagnostic performances of volumetric metabolic parameters were evaluated. TLG values were significantly different between each molecular subtype, while MTV values were not. Values of TLG were significantly reduced after normalizing for lean body mass in each subtype. Both of them showed correlations with Ki-67 and presented high diagnostic ability in identifying patients with basal-like breast cancer from the rest. TLGs before and after normalizing for the lean body mass had similar diagnostic performances in differentiating patients of basal-like subtype from the rest. Metabolic tumor burden could comprehensively reflect tumor metabolic differences of molecular subtypes of breast cancer, and it can serve to help differentiate patients with basal-like breast cancer.

Metabolic Volumetric Parameters in <sup>11</sup> C-Choline PET/MR Are Superior PET Imaging Biomarkers for Primary High-Risk Prostate Cancer
摘要： Purpose. Positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) can facilitate the use of noninvasive imaging biomarkers in clinical prostate cancer staging. Although multiparametric MRI is a widely used technique, the clinical value of simultaneous PET imaging remains unclear. This study aimed at investigating this issue. Methods. Between January 2015 and December 2016, 31 high-risk prostate cancer patients underwent 11C-choline PET/MRI for staging purposes. Clinical characteristics and imaging parameters, including the standardized uptake value (SUV) and metabolic volumetric parameters from PET imaging; apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values from diffusion-weighted imaging; and volume transfer rate constant (Ktrans), reflux rate constant (Kep), and initial area under curve (iAUC) in 60 seconds from dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI were analyzed. Results. 11C-Choline PET imaging parameters were significantly correlated with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, and metabolic volumetric parameters, including metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and uptake volume product (UVP), showed significant correlations with other MRI parameters. In our cohort analysis, the PET/MRI parameters UVP/minimal ADC value (ADCmin) and kurtosis of Kep (Kepkur)/ADCmin were significant predictors for progression-free survival (PFS) (HR = 1.01, 95% CI: 1.00–1.02, p = 0.031 and HR = 1.09, 95% CI: 1.02–1.16, p = 0.009, respectively) in multivariate Cox regression analysis. High UVP/ADCmin and Kepkur/ADCmin values were significantly associated with shorter PFS. Conclusions. Metabolic volumetric parameters such as MTV and UVP can be routinely used as PET imaging biomarkers to add prognostic value and show better correlations in combination with MR imaging parameters in high-risk prostate cancer patients undergoing 11C-choline PET/MRI.
