505 Background: Pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemoradiation has been observed in 15% to 30% of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. The utility of FDG PET/CT scans in the management of patients with stage II or III rectal cancer is not well defined. The objective of this study is to determine if FDG PET/CT can be used to predict pCR and disease-free survival in patients receiving neoadjuvant chemoradiation with locally advanced rectal cancer. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted in patients with endorectal ultrasound-staged T3 to T4 rectal tumors who underwent preoperative and postoperative FGD PET/CT imaging. All patients were treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT). Maximum standardized uptake value (SUV) of each tumor was recorded. Logistic regression was used to analyze the association of pre-CRT SUV, post-CRT SUV, % SUV change, and time between therapy and surgery in comparison to pathological complete response. Kaplan-Meier estimation was used to look for significant predictors of survival. Results: Seventy patients (mean age 62; 42M:28F) with preoperative stage T3Nx (n = 60) and T4Nx (n = 10) underwent pre-CRT and post-CRT FDG PET/CT scans between November 2002 and March 2009. All patients underwent definitive surgery after therapy with standard pathologic evaluation.The pCR rate was 26%. Median pre-CRT SUV was 10.5 while the median post-CRT SUV was 4.05. Patients with pCR had a lower mean post-CRT SUV compared to those without pCR (2.7 vs. 4.5, p = 0.02). Median SUV decrease was 61% (range 6% to 95%) and was significant in predicting pCR (p = 0.004). Patients with a pCR had a greater time interval between neoadjuvant therapy and surgery (median 57 days vs. 50 days) than those without (p = 0.05). Furthermore, patients with post-CRT SUV < 4 had a lower local recurrence rate compared to those with post-CRT SUV > 4 (p = 0.03). Patients with SUV decrease > 61% had improved overall survival at mean follow-up of 39 months than those without (p = 0.01). Conclusions: PET/CT can predict response to neoadjuvant chemoradiation in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. Pre-CRT SUV was the only predictor of disease-free survival. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract Aim To prospectively evaluate histological significance and predictive value of changes in apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and 18F-FDG PET/CT parameters in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) after neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy (RCT). Methods Twenty-one patients with untreated LARC underwent pre-RCT and post-RCT 18F-FDG PET/CT and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI), followed by surgery. For both datasets, two readers measured the tumor SUVmax, SUVmean, MTV, TLG, ADCmin, ADCmean, and respective differences (∆SUVmax, ∆SUVmean, ∆MTV, ∆TLG, ∆ADCmin, ∆ADCmean) for the whole tumor. Tumor regression grade according to Mandard (TRGm), percentage of residual tumor cells and fibrosis were estimated by two pathologists in consensus. Relationship between parameters was assessed on stepwise multivariate regression analysis and ROC curve analysis to evaluate their performance and predict the treatment response. Results Eighteen LARCs were analyzed. SUVmax and SUVmean decreased from 21.3 ± 8.9 to 9.3 ± 5.5 g/mL, (p = 0.0002) and 12.3 ± 5.1 to 5.4 ± 3.1 g/mL, (p = 0.0002), respectively, after RCT, whereas ADCmin and ADCmean increased from 396 ± 269 to 573 ± 313×10–6 mm2/s (p = 0.014) and 1159 ± 212 to 1355 ± 194×10–6 mm2/s (p = 0.0008), respectively. TRGm and percentage of residual tumor cells independently correlated with post-RCT SUVmean (β = 0.73 and β = 0.76, p < 0.001) and post-RCT SUVmax (β = 0.72 and β = 0.78, p < 0.001), whereas percentage of fibrosis independently correlated with ∆ADCmean (β = 0.38, p = 0.008). Post-RCT, SUVmax and SUVmean performed well in predicting TRGm < 3 and residual tumor cells ≤ 20 %. ΔADCmean predicted fibrosis > 70 % well. Conclusion Post-RCT SUVmean, SUVmax and ∆ADCmean are complementary parameters for respectively evaluating residual tumor burden and amount of fibrosis in LARC. However, only SUV independently correlated with TRGm.
