METHODS: We performed a single institution retrospective analysis of 77 mCRPC patients who were treated with 6 cycles of docetaxel chemotherapy, and underwent [11C]choline PET/CT scans at baseline (prior to chemotherapy), mid-course (after 3 cycles), and post-therapy (after 6 cycles). We evaluated treatment response based on change in blood pool-corrected maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of the index lesion on PET/CT, as well as change in serum prostate specific antigen (PSA). Logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with complete treatment response. Progression free survival (PFS) analysis was performed using log-rank test and shown on Kaplan-Meier plot. RESULTS: Change in corrected SUVmax on mid-course scan was a significant predictor of complete response after full 6 cycles of docetaxel chemotherapy on univariable and multivariables analyses (Table). Patients with ≥20% reduction in corrected SUVmax on mid-course scan were 3.6 times more likely to achieve complete response, compared to patients with <20% reduction in corrected SUVmax (p = 0.0420). Change in PSA at mid-course was not a significant predictor of complete response. Median PFS in the complete response group was 34.0 months, compared to 9.5 months in the incomplete response group (p = 0.0014) (Figure). CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that mid-course and post-therapy [11C]choline PET/CT evaluation for mCRPC patients undergoing primary docetaxel chemotherapy was able to predict full course treatment response and PFS, respectively. [11C]choline PET/CT should be considered as a valuable tool in the repertoire of the treating physician.
