dc.description.abstractObjective To evaluate the relationship between whole body volumetric (Wbv) results of Ga-68-PSMA PET/CT with biochemical and histopathological parameters. Methods One hundred twenty-one prostate cancer patients who underwent Ga-68-PSMA PET/CT between January 2018 and December 2019 were included. Imaging was conducted for staging upon new diagnosis with moderate- and high-risk disease and for confirming the progression of castration resistance. The relationships between the Wbv Ga-68-PSMA PET/CT parameters and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, PSA doubling time and Gleason score (GS) were evaluated. Results The median GS and mean PSA levels were similar between the castration-naive and resistant patients. The PSA levels were positively correlated with MTVwb (p: 0.009, r: 0.286) and TLPwb (p: 0.002, r: 0.344). Gleason scores were positively correlated with MTVwb (p: 0.050, r: 0.216), TLPwb (p: 0.007, r: 0.296) and highest standard uptake value (HSUV) max (p: 0.047, r: 0.220). In the castration-naive group, Gleason scores (from p < 0.001 to p = 0.04 and r = 0.331 to 0.549) and PSA levels (from p = 0.002 to p = 0.045 and from r = 0.323 to 0.473) correlated with all Ga-68-PSMA-PET/CT parameters. PSA doubling time was negatively correlated with whole-body metabolic tumour volume (MTVwb) (p: 0.050, r: 0.232) and whole-body total lesion PSMA (TLPwb) (p: 0.026, r: 0.262). The MTVwb, TLPwb and HSUVpeak values of the patients with biochemical recurrence (BR) of 0-6 months (n = 18) were higher than those with BR > 2 years (n = 35) (p = 0.046, 0.047 and 0.042, respectively). Conclusions Wbv Ga-68-PSMA PET/CT results were correlated with PSA levels and Gleason scores. The correlation was relatively stronger in the castration-naive group. The prognostic accuracy of PSA in the resistant group may be weaker than in the naive group. The difference in volumetric parameters of patients with short BR compared to long BR supports the idea that Ga-68-PSMA PET/CT can distinguish patients with rapid relapse from others.en_US
