Diagnosing small bowel carcinoid tumor in a patient with oligometastatic prostate cancer imaged with PSMA-Targeted [18F]DCFPyL PET/CT: Value of the PSMA-RADS-3D Designation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Radiotracers targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), including [18F]DCFPyL, have been extensively investigated as a means to image prostate cancer more accurately. We present the case of a man with oligometastatic prostate cancer who was also diagnosed with a metastatic small bowel carcinoid tumor following the detection of indeterminate findings on a [18F]DCFPyL PET and discuss how this case highlights the utility of a newly proposed reporting system for PSMA-targeted PET (PSMA-RADS version 1.0).

Introduction: Modern radiotherapy (RT) techniques allow a highly precise deposition of the radiation dose in tumor. So, high conformal tumor doses can be reached while sparing critical organs at risk. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in three phases. In the first phase; Fourteen patients with primary or recurrent prostate cancer receive Gallium-...

Introduction: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) has been demonstrated as a promising tool for specific imaging of prostate cancer (PCa) via positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) scanning. Radiation treatment planning (RTP) based on 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT scanning can also lead to some decision modifications. The specific goal o...

PURPOSE We have synthesized and evaluated in vivo 2-(3-{1-carboxy-5-[(6-[(18)F]fluoro-pyridine-3-carbonyl)-amino]-pentyl}-ureido)-pentanedioic acid, [(18)F]DCFPyL, as a potential imaging agent for the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). PSMA is upregulated in prostate cancer epithelia and in the neovasculature of most solid tumors. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN [(18)F]DCFPyL was synthesized in t...

Introduction: Accurate staging plays an important role in management of patients with prostate cancer especially in high-risk group. Today, [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT should be considered as the preferred imaging tool for treatment planning and initial staging of the disease. Methods: A total number of 628 patients with prostate cancer referred to...
