abstract = {Men diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer are at high
risk of local relapse or systemic progression after
definitive treatment. Treatment intensification is highly
needed for that patient cohort; however, no relevant
stratification tool has been implemented into the clinical
work routine so far. Therefore, the aim of the current study
was to analyze the role of initial PSMA-PET/CT as a
prediction tool for metastases. In total, 335 men with
biopsy-proven prostate carcinoma and PSMA-PET/CT for primary
staging were enrolled in the present, retrospective study.
The number and site of metastases were analyzed and
correlated with the maximum standardized uptake value
(SUVmax) of the intraprostatic, malignant lesion. Receiver
operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to determine
sensitivity and specificity and a model was created using
multiple logistic regression. PSMA-PET/CT detected 171
metastases with PSMA-uptake in 82 patients. A statistically
significant higher SUVmax was found for men with metastatic
disease than for the cohort without distant metastases
(median 16.1 vs. 11.2; p < 0.001). The area under the curve
(AUC) in regard to predicting the presence of any metastases
was 0.65. Choosing a cut-off value of 11.9 for SUVmax, a
sensitivity and specificity (factor 1:1) of $76.0\%$ and
$58.4\%$ was obtained. The current study confirms, that
initial PSMA-PET/CT is able to detect a relatively high
number of treatment-naïve men with metastatic prostate
carcinoma. Intraprostatic SUVmax seems to be a promising
parameter for the prediction of distant disease and could be
used for treatment stratification-aspects which should be
verified within prospective trials.},
