The Effect of Neoadjuvant Androgen Deprivation Therapy on Tumor Hypoxia in High-Grade Prostate Cancer: An 18 F-MISO PET-MRI Study.
International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics 2018 November 16
PURPOSE: Tumor hypoxia is associated with radioresistance and poor prognosis after radiation therapy for prostate cancer (PCa). In this prospective pilot study, we assessed the ability of 18 F-misonidazole (18 F-MISO) positron emission tomography (PET)-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to detect hypoxia in high-grade PCa patients who were candidates for curative radiation therapy, and we evaluated 18 F-MISO PET-MRI modulation after 3 months of neoadjuvant androgen deprivation therapy (nADT).
METHODS AND MATERIALS: Eleven PCa patients with a Gleason score (GS) ≥ 8 underwent 18 F-fluorocholine (18 F-FCH) PET-computed tomography at diagnosis and an 18 F-MISO hybrid PET-MRI examination before nADT; a second 18 F-MISO PET-MRI examination was acquired after 3 months of nADT for all patients but one who dropped out because of noncompliance with nADT. Immunohistochemistry for tissue hypoxia- and proliferation-related biomarkers (glucose transporter 1, carbonic anhydrase IX, vascular endothelial growth factor A, Ki-67, hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha, and epidermal growth factor receptor) was performed in lesions bearing the highest GS. We used nonparametric tests to assess (1) the presence of 18 F-MISO-positive regions (tumor-to-background ratio [TBR] ≥ 1.4) at baseline; (2) the correlation between imaging parameters (PET tracer uptake, Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System [PIRADS] scores, and dynamic contrast enhancement perfusion markers) at baseline; (3) the difference in immunohistochemistry staining between 18 F-MISO-positive and -negative lesions; and (4) the changes in 18 F-MISO PET-MRI after nADT.
RESULTS: Uptake of 18 F-MISO was significant in 7 patients, being coincidental with the highest GS region in 5 of them. A significant correlation was found at baseline between GS and 18 F-MISO TBR, between 18 F-MISO TBR and MRI perfusion markers, between GS and 18 F-FCH maximum standardized uptake value, between GS and PIRADS score, and between 18 F-FCH maximum standardized uptake value and PIRADS score. No difference was found between 18 F-MISO-positive and -negative biopsy specimens with respect to tissue biomarkers. The TBR of 18 F-MISO diminished significantly after nADT only in high-grade lesions and in regions with a significant uptake at baseline.
CONCLUSIONS: PET imaging with 18 F-MISO showed variable uptake in PCa, associated with a higher GS, lowering significantly after 3 months of nADT in high-grade lesions. These results suggest the existence of a hypoxic microenvironment in PCa and a reoxygenation effect of nADT.
