简要总结
Background:
- Prostate cancers are difficult to see on most imaging studies such as X-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and conventional positron emission tomography (PET) scans.
- An experimental radioactive tracer called 11C-acetate accumulates in prostate tumor cells and may help find prostate cancers more accurately than other imaging methods.
Objectives:
- To determine the accuracy of prostate tumor imaging using the tracer 11C-acetate.
Eligibility:
- Patients 18 years of age and older who are undergoing surgery for localized prostate cancer at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center.
Design:
- Patients have a positron emission tomography (PET scan). For this test, an intravenous (IV) line is placed in the patient's arm and the patient lies on a table inside the donut shaped scanner. (11)C-acetate is injected into the vein through the catheter and images of the lower pelvis and abdomen are obtained over 30 minutes.
- Patients have an endorectal coil MRI scan. For this test, a tube is placed in the rectum, just behind the prostate, to increase the amount of signal received by the magnetic resonance (MR) unit. Other coils may be wrapped around the pelvis to further improve the quality of the scan. The patient lies on the scanning table for about 75 to 90 minutes while images are obtained. During the scan, a contrast agent called gadolinium is injected through an intravenous (IV) line to brighten the images.
详细描述
Background:
- Accurate localization of prostate cancer (PC) is important in developing targeted minimally invasive therapies. While T2 weighted imaging, dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) imaging, diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), and magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy imaging performed at 3T is a useful technique for localizing prostate cancer, it has limitations both in sensitivity and specificity.
- Positron emission tomography (PET) radiopharmaceuticals are more sensitive than magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the detection of cancers; however, the resolution of PET is inferior to MRI. Therefore, a combined PET/MR approach might be desirable.
- We propose to evaluate the utility of a PET radiopharmaceutical, (11C) acetate ((11C)AC) for the detection of PC within the prostate and compare its distribution with T2 weighted imaging, dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) imaging, diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), and MR spectroscopy imaging preformed at 3T.
- Unlike fludeoxyglucose F18(18F)FDG, a routinely used PET radiopharmaceutical which is excreted by the urinary system and accumulates in the bladder, limiting its utility in pelvic imaging, (11C)AC has low physiologic distribution in the pelvis. Several studies involving small numbers of patients have demonstrated that (11C)AC PET imaging can localize in pelvic nodes involved with prostate cancer (PC).
- Dynamic (11C)AC PET/CT examination will be performed in patients with biopsy proven prostate cancer (estimated enrollment 40) who will also undergo prostate/pelvic 3T endorectal coil MR/magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) followed by surgical resection (+/- pelvic lymphadenectomy).
- Histological comparison with the PET/CT and MRI results will be conducted. This study of (11C)AC in PC will permit the direct comparison of MR/MRSI and (11C)AC PET/CT in the detection of prostate cancer within the prostate.
Objectives:
Primary Objective:
- To compare the biodistribution of (11C) acetate ((11C)AC) PET/CT imaging in tumor and non-tumorous regions of the prostate in patients with known prostate cancer.

主要结局
Compare the Biodistribution of 11C-acetate Positron Emission Tomography (PET)/Computed Tomography (CT) Imaging in Tumor and Non Tumorous Regions of the Prostate
时间窗: 2 years
Standard uptake values (SUV) measurements of 11C-acetate will be obtained in each sextant (e.g. region) on each patient. Sextant-specific malignancy will be determined pathologically based on a subsequent prostatectomy. Initially, on each patient, we will, average SUV measurements in tumor and non-tumor regions (i.e., sextants with malignancy and no malignancy, respectively). The patient average SUV measurements across tumors and non-tumor regions will then be compared using a paired t-test.
