The topic is particularly timely given that the UK Government has made climate finance one of its top thematic priorities for COP26 and that 2020 constitutes the deadline for developed countries to mobilise USD 100 billion per year to support climate action in developing countries.

series 11C-choline PET/CT in recurrent prostate cancer: retrospective analysis in a large US patient series By jnm.snmjournals.org Published On :: 2019-12-20T13:25:42-08:00 Purpose: To evaluate 11C-choline PET/CT detection performance for biochemically recurrent prostate cancer (PCa) in a large non-European cohort in the context of emerging evidence for PSMA PET in this setting, and to map patterns of PCa recurrence. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 11C-choline PET/CT scans from 287 patients who were enrolled onto an imaging protocol based on rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels (mean:3.43 ng/mL, median:0.94 ng/mL, range:0.15–89.91) and suspected recurrent PCa. A total of 187 patients had undergone primary radical prostatectomy (RP; 79/187 had secondary radiotherapy), 30 had undergone primary radiotherapy (RT), and 70 had persistent PSA elevation after receiving initial treatment (69 post-RP, 1 post-RT). The level of suspicion for recurrence on 11C-choline PET/CT was scored (0:negative, 1:equivocal, 2:positive) by two readers. The correlation between 11C-choline PET/CT positivity and initial treatment, Gleason score, NCCN stage, PSA level, PSA doubling time, PSA velocity, and time between initial treatment and PET imaging was evaluated. Prostate Cancer Molecular Imaging Standardized Evaluation (PROMISE) criteria were used to map 11C-choline recurrence patterns. Results: Considering scores 1 and 2 as positives, consensus between the two readers deemed 66% of the 11C-choline PET/CT scans as positive. When sorted by PSA level, 45% of patients with PSA<0.5 ng/mL, 56% of patients with PSA 0.5–0.99 ng/mL, 70% of patients with PSA 1.0–1.99 ng/mL, and 90% of patients with PSA ≥2.0 ng/mL scored either 1 or 2 on 11C-choline PET/CT scans. When considering scores of 2 only, 11C-choline PET/CT positivity was 54% (28%, 46%, 62%, and 81%, respectively, for patients with PSA <0.5 ng/mL, 0.5–0.99 ng/mL, 1.0–1.99 ng/mL, and ≥2.0 ng/mL). In multivariate analysis, only the PSA level was significantly associated with scan positivity. Pattern analysis showed that pelvic lymph nodes were the most common site of recurrence, and 28% of patients had 11C-choline-positive suspected recurrences outside the initial treatment field. Conclusion: 11C-choline PET/CT can detect PCa recurrence even among patients with low PSA levels when interpretation accounts for the clinical context, providing a certain pre-test probability. Until PSMA agents are fully approved for PCa, choline PET/CT may provide clinical utility. Full Article
