Abstract
Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess receptor expression in metastatic differentiated thyroid carcinoma patients with progressive elevated thyroglobulin and negative iodine scintigraphy, we used 68 Ga-DOTATATE [Gallium-68 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA)-octreotate (DOTATATE)] (Krenning's score) and 68 Ga-PSMA-11 (Gallium-68 prostate-specific membrane antigen-11) PET-computed tomography (CT) [molecular imaging prostate-specific membrane antigen (miPSMA) score]. Patients with Krenning's score 3 and above and miPSMA score 2 and above were considered to determine the incidence of patients, who would qualify for treatment with 177 Lu-DOTATATE/PSMA [Lutetium-177 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA)-octreotate (DOTATATE)/prostate-specific membrane antigen]-based therapy. In addition, we compared 68 Ga-DOTATATE and 68 Ga-PSMA-11 PET-CT with 2-deoxy-2-[F-18]fluoroglucose ( 18 F-FDG) PET-CT (using maximum standardized uptake value).
Materials and methods: A total of 74 patients with histopathologically proven metastatic differentiated thyroid carcinoma with thyroglobulin elevation and negative iodine scintigraphy syndrome were studied retrospectively. They all had 18 F-FDG, 68 Ga-DOTATATE, and 68 Ga-PSMA-11 PET-CT scans available for undertaking this analysis. The lesions detected by 68 Ga-DOTATATE and 68 Ga-PSMA-11 were evaluated using Krenning's and miPSMA scores. In addition, quantitative comparisons of maximum standardized uptake values for 68 Ga-DOTATATE and 68 Ga-PSMA-11, as well as with 18 F-FDG, were conducted.
Results: Patient-wise analysis revealed positivity rates of 40.5% for 68 Ga-DOTATATE, 41.89% for 68 Ga-PSMA-11, and 75.67% for 18 F-FDG. Among the 74 patients, 14 (18.91%) were deemed eligible for 177 Lu-DOTATATE/PSMA-617 therapy based on Krenning's score of 3 and above both/either miPSMA score of 2 and above on 68 Ga-DOTATATE or 68 Ga-PSMA-11 PET-CT. Within this subgroup, seven out of 74 patients (9.45%) were eligible for 177 Lu-DOTATATE therapy, and nine out of 74 patients (12.16%) were eligible for 177 Lu-PSMA-targeted therapy. Four patients were eligible for both therapies.
Conclusion: Among thyroglobulin elevation and negative iodine scintigraphy patient's subgroup, 9.45% could qualify for 177 Lu-DOTATATE and 12.16% for 177 Lu-PSMA-617. Four were eligible for both therapies. Given the lack of effective therapies, this subset of patients warrants consideration for radionuclide therapy exploration.
期刊介绍:
Nuclear Medicine Communications, the official journal of the British Nuclear Medicine Society, is a rapid communications journal covering nuclear medicine and molecular imaging with radionuclides, and the basic supporting sciences. As well as clinical research and commentary, manuscripts describing research on preclinical and basic sciences (radiochemistry, radiopharmacy, radiobiology, radiopharmacology, medical physics, computing and engineering, and technical and nursing professions involved in delivering nuclear medicine services) are welcomed, as the journal is intended to be of interest internationally to all members of the many medical and non-medical disciplines involved in nuclear medicine. In addition to papers reporting original studies, frankly written editorials and topical reviews are a regular feature of the journal.
