The initial experience of an academic center using F-18-DCFPyL PET in managing men with recurrent prostate cancer showed a high positivity rate (>90%) in patients with biochemical failure. PSMA PET-directed local ablative therapies resulted in a favorable outcome in more than 3 in 4 patients with limited recurrence, and nearly a quarter of them had a complete biochemical response.
Purpose: To describe the initial experience of an academic center using F-18-DCFPyL PET in managing men with recurrent prostate cancer. Materials & Methods: This prospective, single-arm IRB-approved study included men with biochemical failure after primary therapy for prostate cancer and negative/equivocal CT and bone scintigraphy who were candidates for salvage therapy, as determined by a multidisciplinary panel of experts. F-18-DCFPyL PET was assessed for the presence and extent of recurrence: local, oligometastatic (<4), or extensive. Post-PET management and clinical outcome, including PSA response, was documented. For patients who received PET-directed ablative therapies, response was categorized as complete if PSA became undetectable or favorable if PSA decreased >50%. Results: Forty-seven men with biochemical failure after radical prostatectomy (n = 29), primary radiotherapy (n = 15) or focal tumor ablation (n = 3) were included. PET was positive in (43/47) 91.5%, including local recurrence in (9/47) 19.2%; oligometastatic disease in (16/47) 34%; and extensive metastatic disease in (18/47) 38.3%. PET-directed focal ablative therapies without systemic therapy were given to (13/29) 44.8% of patients without extensive metastases on PET with a mean PSA response of 69% (median, 74.5%; range: 35-100). Favorable biochemical response was observed in (10/13) 76.9% of patients with limited recurrence on PET, and in 23.1% (3/13), there was complete response. Conclusion: F-18-DCFPyL PET was positive in > 90% of patients with biochemical failure. For those with limited recurrence, PSMA PET-directed local ablative therapies resulted in favorable outcome in more than 3 in 4 patients, and in nearly a quarter of them, there was complete biochemical response.
