Résumé

In 2021, the tubarial salivary glands (TSGs) were newly identified on prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) as macroscopic glands in the nasopharyngeal wall. However, the relative contribution of the TSGs to the total salivary gland function, and consequently on the development of xerostomia after external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) or PSMA-targeted radionuclide therapy (RNT) is not known. Therefore, we aimed to determine the presence of the TSGs and to quantify uptake in the TSGs on PSMA PET. Qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed on The TSGs were visible on 95% of the The SUVmean, SUVmax and TO-PSMA of the TSGs were most comparable to the SLSGs. However, the measured PSMA uptake may be disproportional towards the saliva production. Therefore, future studies should focus on the relation between PSMA uptake and salivary function before and after PSMA therapy.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
In 2021, the tubarial salivary glands (TSGs) were newly identified on prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) as macroscopic glands in the nasopharyngeal wall. However, the relative contribution of the TSGs to the total salivary gland function, and consequently on the development of xerostomia after external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) or PSMA-targeted radionuclide therapy (RNT) is not known. Therefore, we aimed to determine the presence of the TSGs and to quantify uptake in the TSGs on PSMA PET.
METHODS METHODS
Qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed on
RESULTS RESULTS
The TSGs were visible on 95% of the
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
The SUVmean, SUVmax and TO-PSMA of the TSGs were most comparable to the SLSGs. However, the measured PSMA uptake may be disproportional towards the saliva production. Therefore, future studies should focus on the relation between PSMA uptake and salivary function before and after PSMA therapy.
