Abstract: | Die MAG3-Szintigraphie mit Bestimmung der seitengetrennten Nierenfunktion (SRF) ist ein Standardverfahren bei Patienten mit metastasiertem kastrationsresistentem Prostatakarzinom (mCRPC), die sich einer PSMA-Radioligandentherapie (PSMA- RLT) unterziehen. Diese Patienten erhalten auch häufige PSMA-PET/CT- Untersuchungen zum Staging und zur Verlaufskontrolle. PSMA wird nicht nur in Epithelzellen der Prostata und des Prostatakarzinoms exprimiert, sondern physiologisch auch in den proximalen Tubuluszellen der Niere. Diese Arbeit untersucht den Nutzen der PSMA-gezielten Bildgebung zur Bestimmung der relativen, also seitengetrennten Nierenfunktion.
Methodik: N = 97 mCRPC-Patienten, die ein 68Ga-PSMA11-PET/CT und eine 99mTc- MAG3-Szintigraphie in engem zeitlichem Zusammenhang erhalten haben wurden in diese retrospektive Studie aufgenommen. Der PSMA-PET-basierten SRF, entsprechend dem bilateralen renalen PSMA-Gehalt (Gesamt-PSMA der Niere = SUVmean x Volumen), wurde die MAG3-basierte SRF, unter Verwendung der üblichen Standard-Integralmethode der renalen Sekretionsphase, gegenübergestellt. Die Übereinstimmung von SRFPSMA und SRFMAG3 wurde mittels Pearson-Korrelation und Bland-Altman-Analyse statistisch geprüft.
Ergebnisse: Die Korrelation zwischen beiden SRF-Bewertungsmethoden war mit r = 0,91 hoch signifikant (p < 0,001). Die Bland-Altman-Analyse bestätigte die Übereinstimmung der Messungen. Eine hohe Korrelation und Übereinstimmung wurde auch in den Subgruppenanalysen von Patienten mit normaler und reduzierter Nierenfunktion beobachtet (r = 0,81, p < 0,001 und r = 0,98, p < 0,001).
Schlussfolgerung: Die renale tubuläre PSMA-Expression ermöglicht die Beurteilung der seitengetrennten Nierenfunktion mittels 68Ga-PSMA-PET/CT-Bildgebung. Eine zusätzliche MAG3-Szintigraphie zum Zweck der Quantifizierung SRF kann in Fällen, in denen ein PSMA-PET durchgeführt wird, eingespart werden; diese Erkenntnis kann Zeit und überflüssige Untersuchungen mitsamt Strahlenbelastung einsparen.
MAG3 scintigraphy with determination of split renal function (SRF) is a standard procedure in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) undergoing PSMA radioligand therapy (PSMA-RLT). These patients also receive frequent PSMA PET/CT examinations for staging and follow-up. PSMA is expressed not only in epithelial cells of the prostate and prostate carcinoma, but also physiologically in proximal tubule cells of the kidney. This work investigates the utility of PSMA-targeted imaging to determine relative, or split, renal function.
Methods: N = 97 mCRPC patients who had received 68Ga-PSMA11 PET/CT and 99mTc-MAG3 scintigraphy in close temporal relation were enrolled in this retrospective study. PSMA-PET-based SRF, corresponding to bilateral renal PSMA uptake (total renal PSMA = SUVmean x volume), was contrasted with MAG3-based SRF, using the usual standard integral method of renal secretory phase. Agreement between SRFPSMA and SRFMAG3 was statistically tested using Pearson correlation and Bland-Altman analysis.
Results: The correlation between both SRF assessment methods was highly significant at r = 0.91 (p < 0.001). Bland-Altman analysis confirmed the agreement between the measurements. High correlation and agreement were also observed in subgroup analyses of patients with normal and reduced renal function (r = 0.81, p < 0.001 and r = 0.98, p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Renal tubular PSMA expression allows assessment of split renal function by 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT imaging. Additional MAG3 scintigraphy for the purpose of quantifying SRF may not be necessary in cases where PSMA-PET is performed; this finding may save time and unnecessary examinations along with radiation exposure.
