Project description:We hypothesised that in esophagogastric junction adenocarcinomas combining molecular predictive biomarkers with FDG-PET would optimise response prediction. Changes in FDG uptake in tumours meaured by PET scans after 14 days of chemotherapy define metabolic responders and non-responders. However while <5% of metabolic non-responders will go onto have a response to the full 9-12 week chemotherapy protocol providing a high negative predictive value for FDG-PET, the positive predictive value of metabolic response is more limited. Only 50% of those patients that have a metabolic response determined by FDG PET at day 14 will go on to subsequently have a response to the full 9-12 week chemotherapy protocol . We used global gene expression profiling to identify molecular biomarkers that when combined with FDG-PET would improve predictive accuracy, in particular we aimed to identify molecular biomarkers that could sub-classify FDG PET defined metabolic responders into those that did and did not subsequently go on to have a radiological response and hence clinical benefit from the full chemotherapy protocol. Patients with stage IB-IV esophagogastric junction adenocarcinomas(n=28) received platinum combination chemotherapy .FDG-PET CT scans were performed at baseline and day 14 and expression profiling (Affymetrix ST1.0 Exon Genechips) on baseline tumour biopsies. 14 patients were classified as FDG-PET metabolic responders and gene expression was analysed in these tumour specimens to determine differences between those that did subsequently go on to have a radiological response (n=10) or did not have a radiological response (n=4) to the full 9-12 week chemotherapy protocol. A tissue microarray(n=154 esophagogastric adenocarcinomas who underwent surgery+/-neoadjuvant chemotherapy)was used with immunohistochemistry for qualification of gene expression profiling results. Radiological response was assessed after 3or4 cycles of chemotherapy by RECISTv1.1.

Project description:Interventions: A standard whole body PET/CT scan will be performed first. This involves a patient lying on a scanning table for around 20 mins while breathing normally. The patient will recieve CT and a PET scan from the base of the brain to thighs.
Then at the conclusion of the whole body PET/CT scan the patient will be administered with IV contrast and asked to hold their breath while a high quality CT scan of the liver is acquired taking about 30 seconds. Once the contrast CT scan has concluded the patient will be instructed to breath normally again and a 10 minute gated PET scan of the liver will be acquired.
Primary outcome(s): To determine the number of positive liver metastases on contrast enhanced respiratory gated 4D PET/CT scanning compared to conventional ungated whole body PET/CT without contrast-enhanced CT.[At the time of PET/CT scan]
Study Design: Purpose: Diagnosis; Allocation: Non-randomised trial; Masking: Open (masking not used);Assignment: Single group;Type of endpoint: Efficacy

Project description:Fluorine-18-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) is widely used as positron-emission-tomography (PET) radiotracer for the detection and staging of human cancer. Tumor uptake of FDG varies substantially between different cancer types and between patients with the same tumor type. The molecular basis for this heterogeneity is unknown. Using cancer cell lines and primary human tumors of distinct histologic origins, we here show that increased FDG uptake is universally associated with coordinate upregulation of genes within the glycolysis, pentose-phosphate, and other related metabolic pathways. In primary human breast cancers, this FDG signature shows significant overlap with established breast cancer signatures for the “basal-like” disease subtype and “poor prognosis”. FDG high breast cancer showed significantly more gene copy number alterations genome wide than FDG low cancers. About 50 % of primary breast cancers with high FDG uptake and FDG gene expression signature show DNA copy gain encompassing the c-myc gene locus and express gene sets regulated by the transcription factor MYC. Our data shows that FDG-PET marks a distinct subset of “basal-like” human breast cancer which is characterized by MYC and prognostically unfavorable gene expression signatures, suggesting that FDG-PET imaging may be useful to risk-stratify patients with locally advanced breast cancer.

Our general strategy to identify molecular determinants of FDG-retention through a genome-wide approach consisted of FDG uptake measurements in cancer cell lines and primary human tumors, the selection of samples with particularly high versus low FDG-retention, and subsequent pathway-based analysis of RNA expression data collected from these samples. Cell line RNA was extracted from a 10 cm plate seeded simultaneously and at the same density as the wells for FDG-uptake assays. For primary human tumor samples, RNA was extracted from macrodissected frozen tumor tissue. All cell line RNA samples and the astrocytoma RNA aliquots were hybridized to Affymetrix U133 Plus 2.0 arrays. All primary breast cancer RNA samples were hybridized to Affymetrix U133A arrays.

Project description:The standardized uptake value (SUV), an indicator of the glucose uptake degree in 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), has been used as a prognostic factor in malignant tumors. We aimed to identify a signature reflecting prognostic SUV characteristics in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Transcriptome profiling was performed to identify a signature associated with the SUV in TNBC patients who underwent preoperative FDG-PET. We defined a signature significantly associated with the SUV (|r| > .35; P < .01). The SUV signature showed independent clinical utility for predicting BRC prognosis. Integrative analysis demonstrated a significance of the signature in predicting the response to immunotherapy and revealed that a signaling axis defined by TP53-FOXM1 and its downstream effectors in glycolysis-gluconeogenesis, including LDHA, might be important mediators in the FDG-PET process. Our results reveal characteristics of glucose uptake captured by FDG-PET, supporting an understanding of glucose metabolism as well as poor prognosis in TNBC patients with a high SUV.

Project description:The standardized uptake value (SUV), an indicator of the glucose uptake degree in 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), has been used as a prognostic factor in malignant tumors. We aimed to identify a signature reflecting prognostic SUV characteristics in breast cancer (BRC). Transcriptome profiling was performed to identify a signature associated with the SUV in BRC patients who underwent preoperative FDG-PET. We defined a signature consisting of 723 genes significantly correlated with the SUV (|r| > .35; P < .001). The patient subgroups classified by the signature were significantly similar to those classified by the SUV (odds ratio, 8.02; 95% CI, 2.45 to 29.3; P < 0.001). The SUV signature showed independent clinical utility for predicting BRC prognosis (hazard ratio, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.11 to 1.42; P < 0.001). Integrative analysis demonstrated a significance of the signature in predicting the response to immunotherapy and revealed that a signaling axis defined by TP53-FOXM1 and its downstream effectors in glycolysis-gluconeogenesis, including LDHA, might be important mediators in the FDG-PET process.

Project description:Objective(s) of the proposed study:
* The evaluation of the efficiency of 18F deoxyglucose-Positron Emission Tomography (FDG-PET) in staging patients eligible for hepatic resection of colorectal liver metastases in a randomized clinical multicentre setting.
Research questions of the proposed study:
* What are the effects and costs for patients with liver metastases of colorectal cancer indicated for potentially curative hepatic resection, using the conventional diagnostic strategy with computed tomography (CT) scan in comparison to the experimental diagnostic strategy incorporating FDG-PET scan (CT + FDG-PET scan), based on a health care perspective and a time horizon of 9 months.
More specifically:
* Does the experimental diagnostic strategy which includes FDG-PET scan in the diagnostic work-up of patients eligible for potentially curative hepatic resection of colorectal liver metastases lead to a better disease-free survival at 9 months after hepatic resection in comparison to the conventional diagnostic strategy using CT scan without FDG-PET scan.
* What are the costs of diagnostic and therapeutic care for the two diagnostic strategies for patients eligible for potentially curative hepatic resection of colorectal liver metastases.
* What is the effect of including the FDG-PET scan in the diagnostic work-up of patients eligible for potentially curative hepatic resection of colorectal liver metastases after hepatic resection, expressed as disease-free survival at 9 months adjusted for quality of health (Q-TWIST), in comparison to the use of CT scan only.

Project description:Positron Emission Tomography (PET scanning) is performed using a total dose of less than 50 mRad per patient visit. Fludeoxyglucose F 18 (FDG) is injected intravenously over 2 min. Initial dynamic images will be obtained over the heart. Emission imaging will work from the midcervical region down to the perineal region.
For CEA scanning, radiolabeled antibody, arcitumomab (IMMU-4), is injected intravenously over 5 min. A single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) transmission scan is performed over the same regions as the emission scans. Total dose from transmission scans should be no more than 20 mRad per patient visit.
Patients then undergo exploratory laparotomy performed by two surgeons, one blinded to the results of the CEA-Scan and PET scan.
At the completion of all exploration, all identified disease is biopsied for pathologic analysis and any resectable disease is removed.
Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for the second year, and then after 3 years.

Project description:Analysis of transcriptional differences between HIV infected persons with evidence of latent tuberculosis (TB) infection by Quantiferon Gold-in-tube, with and without evidence of subclinical TB disease on FDG-PET/CT scan. Tuberculosis is classically divided into two clinical states: latent infection and active disease. One-quarter of the global population is considered latently infected but diagnostic tests poorly predict the small proportion that will progress to disease. We recruited 35 asymptomatic, HIV-1 infected adults with latent TB by current diagnostic criteria, who underwent [18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission/computed tomography; ten had pulmonary abnormalities consistent with subclinical disease and were significantly more likely to progress. As positive control, we recruited 15 HIV-1 infected adults with symptomatic microbiologically confirmed active pulmonary TB, age, sex and CD4 matched to the 35 participants undergoing FDG-PET/CT. By whole-blood transcriptomic profiling we characterised 82-transcripts distinguishing those with subclinical pathology from those without. Transcripts representing the classical complement pathway were overabundant in both subclinical and active TB. We have demonstrated that latent TB is not a homogenous condition and defined a distinct high-risk subgroup with evidence of subclinical disease. These findings point the way to the future development of more predictive diagnostic tests.
