F-18-PSMA-1007 PET/CT reliably detects malignant lymph nodes in prostate cancer patients with exceptional specificity of more than 99% for nodal metastases.
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-ligand PET/CT is performed on patients with prostate cancer to stage the disease initially or to identify sites of recurrence after definitive therapy. On the basis of clinical results, F-18-PSMA-1007 is a promising PSMA PET tracer, but detailed histologic confirmation has been lacking. Methods: Ninety-six patients with prostate cancer underwent F-18-PSMA1007 PET/CT followed by either radical prostatectomy with lymphadenectomy or salvage lymphadenectomy. The histologic findings of PSMA PET-positive nodes were analyzed retrospectively. A lesion based and patient-based analysis was performed comparing all positive lesions and only lesions larger than 3 mm on histopathology. Results: Of the patients, 90.6% received F-18-PSMA-1007 PET/CT for staging before the primary treatment, whereas 9.4% underwent imaging for biochemical recurrence. In 34.4% of the cohort, positive lymph nodes were present on imaging. In total, 1,746 lymph nodes were dissected in 96 patients. F-18-PSMA-1007 PET had a lesion-based sensitivity of 81.7%, a specificity of 99.6%, a positive predictive value of 92.4%, and a negative predictive value of 98.9% for detecting positive lymph nodes larger than 3 mm. In the analysis of all malignant nodes regardless of size, the overall sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value on lesion-based analysis were 71.2%, 99.5%, 91.3%, and 97.9%, respectively. The patient-based analysis showed a sensitivity of 85.9% and a specificity of 99.5% for lymph nodes larger than 3 mm. Conclusion: F-18-PSMA-1007 PET/CT reliably detects malignant lymph nodes and has an exceptional specificity of more than 99% for nodal metastases.
