The usefulness of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) using (F)-2-fluoropropionyl-labeled PEGylated dimeric arginine-glycine-aspartic acid peptide [PEG3-E{c(RGDyk)}2] (F-FPPRGD) in patients with metastatic renal cell cancer (mRCC) has not been evaluated; therefore, we were prompted to conduct this pilot study.
Seven patients with mRCC were enrolled in this prospective study. F-FPPRGD and 2-deoxy-2-(F)fluoro-D-glucose (F-FDG) PET/CT images were evaluated in a per-lesion analysis. Maximum standardized uptake value (SUV) and tumor-to-background ratio (T/B) were measured for all detected lesions, both before and after starting antiangiogenic therapy.
Sixty lesions in total were detected in this cohort. SUV from F-FPPRGD PET/CT was lower than that from F-FDG PET/CT (4.4 ± 2.9 vs 7.8 ± 5.6, P < 0.001). Both SUV and T/B from F-FPPRGD PET/CT decreased after starting antiangiogenic therapy (SUV, 4.2 ± 3.2 vs 2.6 ± 1.4, P = 0.003; T/B, 3.7 ± 3.2 vs 1.5 ± 0.8, P < 0.001). Average changes in SUV and T/B were - 29.3 ± 23.6% and - 48.1 ± 28.3%, respectively.
F-FPPRGD PET/CT may be an useful tool for monitoring early response to antiangiogenic therapy in patients with mRCC. These preliminary results need to be confirmed in larger cohorts.
尚未评估正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(PET/CT)使用(F)-2-氟丙酰基标记的聚乙二醇化二聚精氨酸-甘氨酸-天冬氨酸肽[PEG3-E{c(RGDyk)}2](F-FPPRGD)在转移性肾细胞癌(mRCC)患者中的作用;因此,我们促使进行了这项初步研究。
本前瞻性研究纳入了 7 例 mRCC 患者。对 F-FPPRGD 和 2-脱氧-2-(F)氟-D-葡萄糖(F-FDG)PET/CT 图像进行了逐个病变分析。在开始抗血管生成治疗前后,测量了所有检测到的病变的最大标准化摄取值(SUV)和肿瘤与背景比(T/B)。
本队列共检测到 60 个病灶。F-FPPRGD PET/CT 的 SUV 低于 F-FDG PET/CT(4.4±2.9 与 7.8±5.6,P<0.001)。开始抗血管生成治疗后,F-FPPRGD PET/CT 的 SUV 和 T/B 均降低(SUV,4.2±3.2 与 2.6±1.4,P=0.003;T/B,3.7±3.2 与 1.5±0.8,P<0.001)。SUV 和 T/B 的平均变化分别为-29.3±23.6%和-48.1±28.3%。
F-FPPRGD PET/CT 可能是监测 mRCC 患者抗血管生成治疗早期反应的有用工具。这些初步结果需要在更大的队列中得到证实。
