PSA and PSA Kinetics Thresholds for the Presence of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT-Detectable Lesions in Patients with Biochemical Recurrent Prostate Cancer

2020

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 is to determine the optimum time for performing these PET/CT scans in a large cohort of patients by identifying the prostate-specific-antigen (PSA) and PSA kinetics thresholds for detecting and localizing recurrent PC. This retrospective analysis includes 581 patients with biochemical recurrence (BC) by definition. The performance of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT in relation to the PSA value at the scan time as well as PSA kinetics was assessed by the receiver-operating-characteristic-curve (ROC) generated by plottin…

Bone targeting compounds for radiotherapy and imaging: *Me(III)-DOTA conjugates of bisphosphonic acid, pamidronic acid and zoledronic acid

2016

Background Bisphosphonates have a high adsorption on calcified tissues and are commonly used in the treatment of bone disorder diseases. Conjugates of bisphosphonates with macrocyclic chelators open new possibilities in bone targeted radionuclide imaging and therapy. Subsequent to positron emission tomography (PET) examinations utilizing 68Ga-labelled analogues, endoradiotheraphy with 177Lu-labelled macrocyclic bisphosphonates may have a great potential in the treatment of painful skeletal metastases. Methods Based on the established pharmaceuticals pamidronate and zoledronate two new DOTA-α-OH-bisphosphonates, DOTAPAM and DOTAZOL(MM1.MZ) were successfully synthesized. The ligands were labe…

Sterilu jaunu radioaktīvu peptīdu sintēze un to pretvēža aktivitāte in vitro sistēmās

2020

NET audzēji ir visbiežāk diagnosticētā onkoloģiskā saslimšana no visiem vēža veidiem. Krūts vēzis, kas pieskaitāms NET audzējiem, ir biežākā onkoloģiskā saslimšana sievietēm ar vairākiem simtiem tūkstošu jaunu gadījumu katru gadu. Kopš pagājušā gadsimta beigām klīniskajā praksē tiek izmantota audzēju un to metastāžu diagnostika ar radiofarmaceitiskajiem preparātiem. Pēdējos gados onkoloģijā tiek ieviesta teranostika – diagnostika un terapija ar audzējam specifisku peptīdu, kas piesaistīts pie radionuklīda. Ar HA-DOTA-TATE, kas ir somatostatīna analogs, saistīti radionuklīdi paver iespējas pacientiem pieejamai teranostikai. Taču trūkst pētījumu par HA-DOTA-TATE spēju saistīties pie SSTR. Tāp…

The Impact of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT and PET/MRI on the Management of Prostate Cancer.

2018

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a transmembrane protein with significantly increased expression in the cells and metastases of prostate carcinoma (CaP). PSMA-expression correlates with higher serum levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and a higher Gleason score (GS). This finding has led to the development of novel imaging modalities such as 68Ga-/18F-labeled PSMA positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI). This article reviews the literature pertaining to various new imaging technologies for the management of CaP. PSMA positron emission tomography/computed tomography appears to be an exce…

[177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE and [131I]MIBG Phenotypic Imaging-Based Therapy in Metastatic/Inoperable Pheochromocytomas and Paragangliomas: Comparative Result…

2022

PurposeThe aim of the study is to assess phenotypic imaging patterns and the response to treatment with [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE and/or [131I]MIBG in paragangliomas (PGLs) and pheochromocytomas (PHEOs), globally and according to the primary location.MethodsThis is a 17-patient retrospective observational study, with 9 cases treated with [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE and 8 with [131I]MIBG (37 total treatments). Functional imaging scans and treatment responses were studied in order to choose the best therapeutic option and to define the progression-free survival (PFS) and disease control rate (DCR) according to treatment modality and primary location.ResultsAll patients were studied with phenotypic nuclear …

Somatostatin and Somatostatin Receptors: From Signaling to Clinical Applications in Neuroendocrine Neoplasms

2021

Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are heterogeneous neoplasms which arise from neuroendocrine cells that are distributed widely throughout the body. Although heterogenous, many of them share their ability to overexpress somatostatin receptors (SSTR) on their cell surface. Due to this, SSTR and somatostatin have been a large subject of interest in the discovery of potential biomarkers and treatment options for the disease. The aim of this review is to describe the molecular characteristics of somatostatin and somatostatin receptors and its application in diagnosis and therapy on patients with NENs as well as the use in the near future of somatostatin antagonists.

Validation of (68)Ge/(68)Ga generator processing by chemical purification for routine clinical application of (68)Ga-DOTATOC.

2008

Abstract Introduction Imaging of somatostatin receptor expressing tumours has been greatly enhanced by the use of 68 Ga-DOTATOC and PET/CT. Methods In this work, a purification method for the 68 Ge/ 68 Ga generator eluate and a method to produce 68 Ga-DOTATOC suitable for clinical use were evaluated. The generator eluate was purified and concentrated on a cation-exchange cartridge in HCl/acetone media. The efficacy of this procedure in eliminating metal impurities from the 68 Ga solution was investigated by ICP-MS. The radiotracer quality was evaluated by radio-TLC, GC and γ-ray spectrometry. Results 68 Ga-DOTATOC preparations ( n =33) were carried out with a mean synthesis yield of 59.3±2.…

In vitro vēža šūnu modeļsistēmas izstrāde molekulāri mērķētu radionuklīdu testēšanai

2019

Prostatas vēzis ir ceturtais biežāk diagnosticētais vēzis Eiropā, 2018. gadā un tas ir kļuvis par visbiežāk sastopamo vēzi vīriešu vidū. Nozīmīgi klīnisko pētījumu rezultāti prostatas vēža diagnostikā un terapijā ir sasniegti ar radioaktīvi iezīmētu PSMA ligandu 68Ga-PSMA – diagnostikai un 177Lu-PSMA – terapijai. Neiroendokrīnie audzēji ir neviendabīga agresīvu audzēju grupa, kam raksturīgi dažādi un bieži nespecifiski simptomi, kas apgrūtina precīzu audzēja primāro diagnostiku un saslimšanas stadijas precizēšanu. Pašlaik šo audzēju diagnostikā un ārstēšanā izmanto ar SSTR2 ligandiem (somatostatīna analogiem) konjugētus radionuklīdus. Šī darba mērķis bija izveidot uz dažādām šūnu līnijām ba…
