In biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer (BCR), prompt tumor localization guides early treatment, potentially improving patient outcomes. Gallium-68 prostate-specific membrane antigen-11 positron emission tomography/computed tomography (68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT) detection rates lesions suspicious for are well known to rise along with antigen (PSA) concentration. However, published data limited regarding very low values (≤0.2 ng/mL). We retrospectively analyzed ~7-year "real-world" experience...
A high vaccination rate of older and particularly chronically ill people against coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is likely one the most important factors in containing pandemic. When Germany’s campaign started on December 2020, prioritization was initially carried out starting with population groups. Side effect rates 1065 individuals who had received first dose messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine BNT162b2 Tozinameran from BioNTech/Pfizer three weeks earlier were examined...
In patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) treated prostate-specific membrane antigen-targeted radioligand therapy (PSMA-RLT), the predictive value of PSMA PET/CT-derived response is still under investigation. Early molecular imaging based on total viable tumor burden and its association overall survival (OS) was explored in this study.Sixty-six mCRPC who received [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 RLT within a prospective patient registry (REALITY Study, NCT04833517) were...
This study aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of [18F]PSMA-1007 positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) (18F-PSMA) and [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT (68Ga-PSMA) by identifying prostate-specific antigen (PSA) threshold levels for optimal detecting recurrent prostate cancer (PC) both methods. Retrospectively, included 264 patients. The performances 18F-PSMA 68Ga-PSMA in relation pre-scan PSA were assessed receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. showed PC-lesions...
Radiolabeled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) has proven to be a highly accurate method detect recurrence and metastases of prostate cancer, but only sparse data is available about its performance in the diagnosis clinically significant primary cancer.We compared 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT 25 patients with 18FEC 40 suspected carcinoma based on an increased PSA level.The results were histopathologic Gleason Score (GS) biopsies.The revealed suspect prostatic lesions (maximum standardized...
Als Präventionsmaßnahme insbesondere zur Vermeidung kardiovaskulärer Erkrankungen wurde im Sanitätsunterstützungszentrum (SanUstgZ) Cochem die medizinische Betreuung durch Einführung eines Ernährungsberatungskonzeptes unterstützt. Die Studie zielte auf Fragestellung ab, wie eine Standardisierung der Ernährungsberatung in regionalen sanitätsdienstlichen Versorgung (RegSanVers) Bundeswehr erfolgen kann und erste Erkenntnisse über einen präventivmedizinischen Nutzengewonnen werden können. In...
Routine [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT (one hour post-injection) has been shown to accurately detect prostate cancer (PCa) lesions. The goal of this study is evaluate the benefit a dual-time point imaging modality for staging and restaging PCa patients. Biphasic 233 patients, who underwent early late scans (one/three hours post-injection), were retrospectively studied. Tumor uptake biphasic lesion detection 215 biochemically recurrent patients previously treated localized (prostatectomized...
44Sc has been increasingly investigated as a potential alternative to 68Ga in the development of tracers for positron emission tomography (PET). The lower mean energy (0.63 MeV) compared (0.83 can result better spatial image resolutions. However, high-energy γ-rays (1157 keV) are emitted at high rates (99.9%) during decay, which reduce quality. Therefore, we impact these physical properties and performed an unbiased performance evaluation with different imaging phantoms (image quality...
In this study, we investigated upregulation of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) by enzalutamide in a cohort (n = 30) patients with advanced metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Patients were examined [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT pre- and post-enzalutamide medication (mean 13 ± 7 days). Imaging results compared based on quantification whole-body PSMA tumor burden: total lesion (TLP) normalized TLP values to liver (TLP-LR) parotid gland (TLP-PR). addition, lesion-based...
Hybrid imaging with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is gaining importance as an increasingly meaningful tool for prostate cancer (PC) diagnostics and a guide therapy decisions. This study aims to investigate compare the performance of [18F]PSMA-1007 (18F-PSMA) [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 positron emission tomography/computed tomography (68Ga-PSMA) in initial staging PC patients.The data 88 biopsy-proven patients were retrospectively evaluated. PSMA-avid lesions compared histopathologic...
68Ga-PSMA-11 positron-emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is commonly used for restaging recurrent prostate cancer (PC) in European clinical practice. The goal of this study to determine the optimum time performing these PET/CT scans a large cohort patients by identifying prostate-specific-antigen (PSA) and PSA kinetics thresholds detecting localizing PC. This retrospective analysis includes 581 with biochemical recurrence (BC) definition. performance relation value at scan as...
