Résumé
The aim of this study was to evaluate predictive factors of 68Gallium (68Ga) prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) positivity. Relationships between serum prostate specific antigen (PSA), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels, Gleason Score (GS) and positivity of 68Ga PSMA PET in patients who underwent 68Ga PSMA PET/CT for restaging for PCa were evaluated retrospectively. One hundred and four (median age: 67; range: 51-88) patients were included in this study. Of these patients, PSMA PET was positive in 75 (72%) patients. Mean serum PSA levels for PET negative and positive groups were 0.76±1.00 and 180.85±324.93 ng/mL (P<0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of 68Ga PSMA PET/CT for detection of disease recurrence were calculated as 92% and 80%, respectively, for the 1.4 ng/mL PSA cut-off and 92% and 90%, respectively, for the 2 ng/mL PSA cut-off values. The positivity rates for patients with PSA levels <1.4 ng/mL and ≥1.4 ng/mL were 21% and 90%, respectively (P<0.001). 68Ga PSMA PET/CT seems to be a highly sensitive in patients with early PSA recurrence. Patients with higher GS and early PSA recurrence could benefit from 68Ga PSMA PET/CT.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to evaluate predictive factors of 68Gallium (68Ga) prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) positivity.
METHODS
METHODS
Relationships between serum prostate specific antigen (PSA), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels, Gleason Score (GS) and positivity of 68Ga PSMA PET in patients who underwent 68Ga PSMA PET/CT for restaging for PCa were evaluated retrospectively.
RESULTS
RESULTS
One hundred and four (median age: 67; range: 51-88) patients were included in this study. Of these patients, PSMA PET was positive in 75 (72%) patients. Mean serum PSA levels for PET negative and positive groups were 0.76±1.00 and 180.85±324.93 ng/mL (P<0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of 68Ga PSMA PET/CT for detection of disease recurrence were calculated as 92% and 80%, respectively, for the 1.4 ng/mL PSA cut-off and 92% and 90%, respectively, for the 2 ng/mL PSA cut-off values. The positivity rates for patients with PSA levels <1.4 ng/mL and ≥1.4 ng/mL were 21% and 90%, respectively (P<0.001).
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
68Ga PSMA PET/CT seems to be a highly sensitive in patients with early PSA recurrence. Patients with higher GS and early PSA recurrence could benefit from 68Ga PSMA PET/CT.
