Limitations in Cancer Treatment
Chemotherapy is selected empirically
Complete response rates 10-20%
Response can be slow
Treatment-associated costs and morbidity
Assessing whether treatment is complete is difficult

Ideal Planning of Cancer Treatment
Non-invasive assessment of cancer phenotype and likelihood of response before therapy
Early assessment of drug efficacy soon after therapy has begun
Monitoring of efficacy, so therapy can be changed or discontinued
Distinguish residual tumor from treatment effect

Inflammatory Breast Cancer
• Rare, aggressive, young, poor prognosis
• MRI was the most accurate imaging technique in detecting a primary breast parenchymal lesion
• Sonography can be useful in diagnosing regional nodal disease.
• PET/CT provides additional information on distant metastasis, and it should be considered in the initial staging of IBC.

Assessment of FDG uptake
![Page 13: PET/CT for Therapy Assessment in Oncology - Nucleusnucleus.iaea.org/HHW/NuclearMedicine/Oncology_and... · Clinical Applications of PET/CT in Oncology Characterization of tumor massess](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062505/5edddd63ad6a402d666915a9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Standardized Uptake Value
tissue conc. (µCi/gm) SUV = inj. dose (µCi)/body weight
(gm)
SUV shows a strong positive correlation with patient body weight (i.e., overestimated in heavy patients)
SUV-lean and SUV-bsa are less weight dependent

Standard deviation 10% for SUV, SUVgluc, Ki, and Ki,gluc
Change > 20% can be used to define a metabolic response

Consensus Recommendations: FDG
PET as an indicator of therapeutic
response in NCI Trials
FDG PET can be an important tool for assessing
therapeutic efficacy in large, multicenter trials.
Enacting these recommendations will determine when and for what indications FDG PET can serve as a surrogate measure of therapeutic efficacy.
The result should be shorter clinical trials and improved therapy for patients with cancer.

Quantifying the Effect of IV
Contrast Media on PET/CT
• There is a significant increase in SUV in regions of
high-contrast concentration when contrast-enhanced
CT is used for attenuation correction
• This increase is clinically insignificant.
• Accordingly, in PET/CT, IV contrast-enhanced CT
can be used in combination with the PET to
evaluate patients with cancer.

“Oncology Biomarker Qualification Initiative”
FDA, NCI, part of the NIH and CMS
First project to be implemented will serve to validate and standardize the use of FDG-PET
Trials of patients being treated for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, to determine if FDG-PET is a predictor of tumor response.
Data resulting from this type of evidence-based study will help both FDA and CMS work with drug developers based on a common understanding of the roles of these types of assessments.
