Background
• CT/MRI and bone scan are not recommended for prostate cancer staging until PSA level
has reached 10 or 20 ng/mL because of low accuracy and sensitivity (Wollin et al, BJU Int.
2015).
• CT, MRI, FDG- or choline-based PET/CT are not sensitive for the detection of lymph nodes
metastases smaller than 8-10 mm in short axis (Hovel et al. Clin Radiol 2008).
• 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT has increased accuracy and high specificity for bone, lymph nodes
and visceral organ metastasis.
• It is recommended to stage recurrent prostate cancer especially for low PSA values
between 0.2-10 ng/mL (Fendler et al. Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging 2017)
• 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT not yet FDA approved.

Limitations of CT, MRI, and non-PSMA
PET for staging prostate cancerCT/MRI
• Evaluate lymph node based on size and
morphology.
• However, almost 80% of metastatic
lymph nodes in prostate cancer are
smaller than 8 mm size threshold (Maurer
et al, Nat rev Urol 2016).
• MRI: limited field of view
• Meta-analysis for lymph node metastasis
evaluation: Hovel et al. Clin Radiol 2008.
• CT: sensitivity 42%, specificity 82%
• MR: sensitivity 39%, specificity 82%
Non-PSMA PET
• 11C-choline, 18F-choline, 18F-
fluorocholine, 11C-acetate
• Meta-analysis: Evangelista et al,
Eur Urol 2013. Choline PET.
• Moderate pooled sensitivity 39.2%
(range 33-45%)
• High specificity >/= 95%
• Poor sensitivity→ current guideline
does not recommend non-PSMA
PET for lymph node staging
FDA Approved PET for Recurrent Prostate Cancer
18F-Fluciclovine (Axumin) PET and 11C-Acetate PET
• 11C-Acetate PET was approved by FDA in September 2012.
• 18F-Fuciclovine (Axumin) PET was approved by FDA in May 2017.
• Both are approved for patients with suspected biochemical recurrence (BCR).
• 11C-Acetate PET/CT: poor pooled sensitivity for lymph node metastases (Meta-analysis,
Evangelista et al, Eur Urol 2013.)
• 18F-Fuciclovine PET/CT is superior to 11C-Acetate PET/CT in detecting local recurrence
and distant metastases (lymph node and bone) (Nanni et al, Clin Nucl Med 2015).
• A retrospective study of 10 patients with BCR underwent 18F-Fluciclovine PET/CT and
68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT (Calais et al, J Nucl Med 2017): 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT may be
better.
• 5/10 patients (50%) were negative on 18FFluciclovine PET/CT had positive 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT.
• 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT detected additional lymph node metastasis.

PSMA (prostate specific membrane antigen)
• PSMA: type II transmembrane protein.
• Similar to transferrin receptor
• PSMA→ truncated→ PSM’ inside cytoplasm.
• Dysplastic and/or neoplastic transformation→ transfers PSMA from apical
membrane to the luminal surface of the ducts.
• Expressed in adenocarcinoma prostate cancer
• Androgen-independent prostate cancer→ leads to further PSMA expression
• PSMA:PSM’ ratio increases as prostate tumor cells increase in Gleason grade.
• Gallium-68 (68Ga) labeling most common for diagnostic imaging.
• 68Ga-PSMA-11 excretion: majority kidney, some hepatobiliary.
Normal Distribution of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET
• Salivary glands/parotid glands/lacrimal gland
• Liver, spleen
• Small intestine, colon
• Kidneys, ureters, bladder

distribution of Ga68-PSMA
Pitfalls, False Negatives and False Positives
• 10% prostate cancer does not express PSMA
• Systemic review and meta-analysis 2016 (Perera et al. Eur Urol 2016):• Sensitivity and specificity of PSMA detection: both 86% per-patient analysis.
• Other cells express PSMA
• For example: astrocytes, jejunum brush border cells
• Liver metastases
• High background uptake. Liver metastases lose PSMA expression.
• False positive: neovasculature of non-prostate cancer
• Colon cancer, esophageal cancer, thyroid cancer, lung cancer, renal cell
cancer, brain tumors
• False positive
• Stellate ganglion, Paget’s bone disease, ribs
False Positive: Paget’s bone disease
Coronal CT (A), Ga68-PSMA PET/CT fusion (B), and bone scan (C). 64 year-old male with recurrent
prostate cancer and Paget’s bone disease. Diffuse mild PSMA activity is seen in the right hemipelvis
correlating to Paget’s bone disease, which was also diffusely active on bone scan (yellow arrows).
CBA
False Positive: Lung adenocarcinoma
Axial PET (A), Ga68-PSMA-11 PET/CT axial fused (B), and axial CT chest (C). 68 year-old male with
recurrent prostate cancer and lung nodule. PSA 7.9 ng/mL. Restaging PSMA-11 PET demonstrated focal
PSMA-11 uptake of a 11 mm right upper lobe nodule (yellow arrows). Percutaneous core biopsy of the right
upper lobe nodule yielded primary lung adenocarcinoma.
CB

False Negative: perirectal lymph node recurrence
Axial PET (A), 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT axial fused (B), and axial CT pelvis (C). 65 year-old male with
recurrent prostate cancer. PSA 0.43 ng/mL. PSMA-11 PET/CT demonstrated a round right mesorectal 6-7
mm lymph node without significant PSMA-11 uptake (SUVmax 0.9). CT guided lymph node biopsy yielded
metastatic adenocarcinoma from prostate origin (PSA+, PSMA+, p53+).

Current Literature ReviewRetrospective Data - Baseline Detection
Maurer et al. J. Urol 2015.• 130 patients with intermediate risk to
high risk prostate cancer who
underwent radical prostatectomy and
pelvic lymph node dissection.
• Lymph node staging before treatment:
sensitivity 65.9%. Specificity 98.8%.
• False negative
• PSMA-negative primary tumors
• Micrometastases in single lymph
node
Perera et al. Euro Urol 2016.• Systemic review and meta-analysis
• 16 articles involving 1309 patients
overall. 2 studies included outcomes of
PSMA-PET performed for primary
staging.
• 40% (95% CI 19-64%) of scans were
positive for primary staging.
• Growing but limited evidence
supporting use of PSMA-PET for
primary staging.
Current Literature ReviewRetrospective Data – Biochemical Recurrence (BCR)
Eiber et al. J Nucl Med 2015.• 248 patients with BCR after radical prostatectomy. 222 (89.5%) patients with positive 68Ga-PSMA
PET
• Median PSA 1.99 ng//mL (0.2-59.4)
Results
• Detection rate correlates with PSA level: 96.8% for PSA >/= 2; 57.9% for PSA 0.2 to <0.5.
• Detection rate correlates with PSA velocity: 81.8% for <1 ng/mL/yr; 100% for >/= 5ng/mL/yr
• No significant correlation with PSA doubling time
• Higher Gleason (>/= 8)→ better detection rate
• 81 patients (32.7%) PET finding only (CT missed)
• 61 patients (24.6%) PET found additional findings
• No significant correlation between putative sensitivity and androgen deprivation therapy
Current Literature ReviewRetrospective Data - Biochemical Recurrence (BCR)
Afshar-Oromieh et al. Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging 2015. • 319 patients with BCR. 82.8% with positive 68Ga-PSMA scan results.
Results
• Positively correlated with PSA level
• Positively correlated with the administration of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT)
• Patients with ADT at time of scan→ more frequently positive PET
• Patients with more advanced disease on ADT
• No correlation with Gleason score
• Lesion-based
• Sensitivity 76.6%, Specificity 100%, NPV 91.4%, PPV 100%.
• Patient-based sensitivity 88.1%
Current Literature ReviewSalvage radiotherapy (SRT) planning
Calais et al. J Nucl Med 2017.• Post-hoc analysis, 4 institutions, 270 patients with BCR after prostatectomy without prior radiotherapy at PSA<1 ng/mL.
• Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) consensus clinical target volumes (CTV) that included both the prostate bed
and pelvic lymph nodes were contoured on CT.
• 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT images were analyzed by a nuclear medicine physician.
• PSMA-positive lesions not covered by planning volumes on consensus CTV major potential impact on treatment
planning.
Results
• 52/270 (19%): at least one PSMA-positive lesion not covered by the consensus CTV.
• 33/270 (12%): extra-pelvic PSMA-positive lesions.
• 19/270 (7%): PSMA-positive lesions within the pelvis but not covered by consensus CTV.
• Two most common PSMA-positive locations outside the consensus CTV: bone (23/52, 44%) and perirectal lymph nodes
(16/52, 31%).
Conclusion: Post-hoc analysis of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT implies a major impact on SRT planning in 52/270 patients
(19%) with BCR (PSA < 1.0 ng/mL).
Justifies a randomized imaging trial of SRT with or without 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT investigating its clinical benefit.
Current Guidelines
Localization in recurrence:
• Strong retrospective data
• 68Ga-PSMA recommended: especially patients with low PSA 0.2-10 ng/mL
• Can guide salvage therapy
Primary staging:
• Several retrospective studies
• For high risk disease: Gleason > 7; PSA > 20 ng/mL; T2c-3a.
• 68Ga-PSMA MAY replace CT/MRI/Bone scan for lymph nodes and bone metastasis.
• Local tumor localization: multiparametric prostate MRI cannot be replaced
Localization in recurrence

Current Guidelines
Staging before and during PSMA-directed radiotherapy:
• Imaging before PSMA-directed therapy (radioligand therapy) is crucial.
Targeted biopsy after previously negative biopsy:
• Consider for high suspicion even with negative biopsy. May be valuable
• 68Ga-PSMA PET combined with mpMRI for biopsy guidance.
Monitoring of systemic treatment in metastatic patients:
• Potential application
• Is 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT better than bone scan or CT? NO DATA YET.
Restaging after Therapy
3D Coronal 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET
(A & B).
59 year-old male with metastatic
prostate cancer (bone and soft
tissue) underwent 3 rounds of
177Lu-PSMA in Germany. Pre-
and post-therapy 68Ga-PSMA-11
PET/CT (3 months apart)
demonstrated significant overall
improvement in soft tissue and
bone mets (despite a few new
bone mets).B
3 months after 3x 177Lu-PSMA therapy
PSMA PET MRI
•MRI has superior soft tissue resolution compared to CT
•PSMA PET/MRI can better localize primary disease in the prostate.
•Some retrospective data suggests that 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT is more useful for
lymph node metastases and local staging in high-risk prostate cancer (Tulsyan et
al. Nucl Med Commun. 2017).
•Registration/metrics agreement between MRI and PET and halo artifacts around
bladder and kidneys have been some challenging issues that will need to be
addressed with additional research (Domachevsky et al. Clinical Radiology 2017).
•Fusion MRI/PET guided biopsy can be helpful for patients with high clinical
suspicion but with negative biopsy (MRI guided or TRUS guided).
Lutetium-177 PSMA for Systemic Therapy: Theranostics
• Lutetium-177 (177Lu) desirable physical properties
•Shorter range of beta-emitter better irradiation of small tumors
•Emits low-energy gamma rays at 208 and 113 keV: great ex vivo imaging
•Relatively long physical half-life (6.73 days)
•Allow for the delivery of high activities of 177Lu PSMA to prostate cancer cells.
•Easily administered targeted therapy, intravenously injected, renally excreted,
overall safe.
•Effective for tumor cells that express a high density of the PSMA receptor (pre-
treatment PSMA imaging is crucial).
•Limited number of published trials and retrospective studies, but with good results
showing significant treatment response and well tolerated low-grade toxicities.
•Needs prospective analysis of efficacy in randomized trials to evaluate survival
benefit.Emmet L, Willowson K, violet J, et al. Lutetium 177 PSMA radionuclide therapy for men with prostate

Conclusion
• Current recommendation for Gallium 68-PSMA-11 PET, but not FDA
approved.
• Staging for recurrent prostate cancer
• Especially low PSA level: 0.2-10 ng/mL
• More research needed is needed, especially prospective data.
• PSMA PET MRI and Lu177 PSMA will further change our
understanding of diagnosis and therapy for prostate cancer.
