OBJECTIVE: To investigate the potential of whole-body digital 11C-methionine (MET) PET/CT imaging for simultaneous evaluation of thoracic cancer patients suspected of local recurrence (LR) after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for brain metastasis.
METHODS: A total of 45 lung or breast cancer patients suspected of LR after SRS were investigated using brain and whole-body MET-PET/CT scans. We compared the tumor-to-normal ratio (TNR) and maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) between patients with LR and radiation necrosis (RN) and performed receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses. We also investigated associations among extracranial recurrence, intracranial recurrence, primary site, and initial treatment type.
RESULTS: A total of 44 LR and 14 RN lesions were analyzed. In the ROC analyses for differentiating LR from RN, TNR showed higher area under the curve (AUC) (0.82) than SUVmax (0.79), and the cutoff TNR value (2.12) was higher than current cutoff values of conventional PET systems. The whole-body scans detected extracranial recurrences in 31.1% of the patients. Recurrence rates were not significantly correlated with existence of intracranial recurrence or primary site, but patients who underwent non-surgical treatment (consisting of stage III/ IV patients according to the Union for International Cancer Control TNM classification or small-cell lung cancer patients) showed significantly higher recurrence than the surgically treated patients (68.8% vs. 10.3%, p = 0.0001).
CONCLUSION: In digital MET-PET/CT imaging, TNR was a more useful parameter to differentiate LR from RN than SUVmax, and the cutoff value was higher than those with conventional PET systems. Additional whole-body scans could detect extracranial recurrence and would be especially useful for advanced thoracic cancer patients who underwent non-surgical treatment.
