Neridronate prevents bone loss in patients receiving androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer.

2004

Today, androgen deprivation therapy is a cornerstone of treatment for advanced prostate cancer, although it presents important complications such as osteoporosis. Neridronate, a relatively new bisphosphonate, is able to prevent bone loss in patients with prostate cancer during androgen ablation. Introduction: Androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) is a cornerstone of treatment for advanced prostate cancer. This therapy has iatrogenic complications, such as osteoporosis. The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy of neridronate, a relatively new bisphosphonate, to prevent bone loss during androgen ablation. Materials and Methods: Forty-eight osteoporotic patients with prostate cancer, tre…

IS VISCERAL ADIPOSITY INDEX (VAI)RELATED TO PROSTATE CANCER DETECTED BY BIOPSY?

2014

association between obesity and prostate cancer, yielding inconsistent results. Metabolic syndrome has been suggested to promote aggressive prostate tumors. In a previous study we failed to detect a relation between Body Mass Index (BMI) and prostate cancer Gleason score (1). BMI, although routinely adopted to measure obesity, has low sensitivity and specificity. A novel sex-specific obesity index, based on waist circumference (WC), BMI, triglycerides (TGs) and high density lipoproteins (HDL), the Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI), has been proposed to estimate the visceral adiposity dysfunction (2). The aim of our preliminary research was to correlate VAI and BMI with the presence of prostate…

Value of Combined PET Imaging with [18F]FDG and [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 in mCRPC Patients with Worsening Disease during [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 RLT

2021

Despite the promising results of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radioligand therapy (RLT) in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), some patients show worsening disease during PSMA-RLT. We investigated the value of combined [18F]FDG and [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET imaging in this setting. In n = 29 mCRPC patients with worsening disease after a median of four cycles of [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 RLT, combined [18F]FDG and [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET imaging was performed to detect [18F]FDG-avid lesions with low or no PSMA expression (mismatch lesions). To evaluate prognostic implication of mismatch, survival analyses regarding presence, location, and [18F]FDG PET-derived para…
