e15026 Background: Heterogeneity of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake is a promising marker for predicting response to treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the ability of pretreatment positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) 18F-FDG-based heterogeneity to predict the response to pyrotinib in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Methods: Patients with MBC in the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center who underwent whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT before the initiation of pyrotinib was included. The intertumoral and intratumoral heterogeneity indexes (HI-inter and HI-intra, respectively), maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), and metabolic tumor volume (MTV) on the baseline PET/CT were assessed. Progression-free survival (PFS) was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by log-rank test. Time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed, and the predictive accuracies of all markers were evaluated by plotting the cumulative area under the ROC curve (AUC) over time. Results: A total of 22 patients were included in this study. The median PFS of patients with a high HI-intra (> 1.9) was 6.6 months, whereas that of patients with a low HI-intra was 13.4 months (p = 0.044). The HI-inter was able to discriminate patients as well as the coefficient of variance. Univariate analysis showed that patients with a higher HI-inter tended to have worse PFS (10.6 months vs. 13.4 months, p = 0.067). Higher SUVmax and TLG were also associated with worse PFS. ROC curve analysis confirmed the predictive value of the HI-inter and HI-intra. TLG had the highest accuracy in predicting PFS (AUC = 0.87), followed by HI-inter (AUC = 0.86), SUVmax (AUC = 0.85), HI-intra (AUC = 0.80), mean standardized uptake value (AUC = 0.63), and MTV (AUC = 0.60). Conclusions: Intratumoral and intertumoral heterogeneities in metastatic lesions on pretreatment 18F-FDG PET/CT could predict response to pyrotinib treatment in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer, which could provide information to guide treatment decisions.

e12525 Background: Having demonstrated that 64Cu-DOTA trastuzumab is an effective PET imaging agent for HER2 positive (HER2+) breast cancer, we now evaluate the methodology for prediction of response and benefit from TDM1 in women with metastatic disease. Methods: Patients eligible to receive TDM1 as therapy were chosen on the basis of biopsy confirmed HER2+ disease, and at least 1 site of metastasis ≥ 2.0 cm outside the biopsy site. Pretreatment staging included 18F-FDG PET/CT. Prior to injection of 64Cu-DOTA-trastuzumab, patients received 45 mg of cold trastuzumab to reduce liver uptake. PET-CT scans were obtained at 16-28 h (Day1) and 39-49 h (Day 2) over fields of view chosen in reference to the 18F-FDG scans. TDM1 (3.6 mg/kg) was administered every 3 weeks. Restaging 18F-FDG PET/CT was performed every 2 cycles, and response to therapy was determined by PERCIST (solid tumor) criteria. Radiolabel uptake was measured in terms of maximum voxel, standardized uptake value (SUVmax). Results: Ten women between the ages of 48-83 years old (median 55 years) qualified for study, and have been evaluated for response; 4 continue on TDM1 with treatment durations of 3-27 months.Three were trastuzumab-naïve, while 7 had received trastuzumab-containing chemotherapy 3 wks to 55 mo prior to study entry. HER2 was positive by ImmunoHistoChemistry, IHC (3+) in 5 patients, and by FISH testing in the other 5 (3 were 2+ by IHC; 1 was 1+, and 1 was indeterminate). Complete or partial metabolic response was observed in 5 patients. Median Day 2 SUVmax for 64Cu-DOTA trastuzumab was 9.3 g/ml in responding patients, and 4.6 g/ml in non-responders ( P= 0.03). Progression-free survival was longer for patients with higher SUVmax, with a hazard ratio of 0.73 (95% confidence interval 0.46-1.16) for each 1 unit increase in SUVmax. This was not statistically significant, although we can select a threshold SUVmaxfor which the effect is significant even for this small study. Further data is required to confirm such a threshold effect. Conclusions: 64Cu-DOTA-trastuzumab PET imaging predicts benefit from TDM1 in women with biopsy-confirmed HER2+ metastatic disease.

e12095 Background: The aim of this study was to compare the value of 18F-fluorodesoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) with CGFL/Curie nomogram to predict a pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in women with human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer treated by trastuzumab. Methods: Fifty-one women with HER2-positive breast cancer treated with trastuzumab plus taxane-based NAC, were retrospectively included from January 2005 to December 2015. For 18F-FDG PET/CT, the analyzed predictor was the maximum standardized uptake value of the primary tumor and axillary nodes after the first course of NAC (PET2.SUVmax). pCR was defined by no residual infiltrative tumor but in situ tumor was accepted. Accuracy of CGFL/Curie nomogram and PET2.SUVmax was evaluated measuring sensitivity (Se), specificity (Sp), positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV). For each predictor, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was created. To evaluate the correlation between predictors, the Spearman coefficient was calculated. Combined prediction was evaluated testing predictor’s associations. Results: For CGFL/Curie nomogram’s performances, Se, Sp, PPV and NPV were respectively: 76% (CI95%: 58-90%), 57% (CI95%: 43-66%), 55% (CI95%: 42-65), 77% (CI95%: 59-90%). For PET2.SUVmax’s performances, Se, Sp, PPV and NPV were respectively: 67% (CI95%: 48-81%), 77% (CI95%: 64-97%), 67% (CI95%: 48-82%), 77% (CI95%: 64-87%). ROC curves for these predictors were similar; the areas under the curve were 0.6 (CI95%: 0.56-0.64) for PET2.SUVmax and 0.55 (CI95%: 0.50-0.59) for CGFL/Curie nomogram. Spearman coefficient was 0.23. Combined prediction was more efficient with Se at 80%, VPN at 76%, Sp at 78% and VPP at 81 %. Conclusions: CGFL/Curie nomogram and PET2.SUVmax were two efficient predictors of pCR in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. Combined prediction has an improved accuracy.

PurposeStudies have indicated that PSMA-positive ganglia represent a diagnostic pitfall for nuclear medicine physicians. No studies have described choline and FDG uptake in ganglia, which may be a source of misdiagnosis. Herein, we described the percentage and uptake pattern of 68Ga-PSMA, 11C-choline and 18F-FDG PET/CT in ganglia and evaluated the heterogeneous metabolic patterns of ganglia to differentiate from lymph node metastases (LNM).MethodsThirty-nine patients who underwent 11C-choline PET/CT and 120 patients who underwent 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT were retrospectively analyzed. The prevalence of PSMA-positive, choline-positive and FDG-positive ganglia was determined, the SUVmax of ganglia in different locations were measured, and the configuration was described. The SUVmax cutoff of PSMA-PET, choline-PET and FDG-PET was determined by ROC curve analysis to differentiate ganglia from LNM.Results329 PSMA-positive ganglia were identified in 120 patients, 95 choline-positive ganglia were identified in 39 patients, and 39 FDG-positive ganglia were identified in 34 patients. PSMA-positive uptake was observed in 98.3%, 95.8%, and 80.0% of cervical, coeliac, and sacral ganglia, respectively. Choline-positive uptake was observed in 84.6%, 97.4%, and 61.5% of cervical, coeliac, and sacral ganglia, respectively. FDG-positive uptake was observed in 16.7%, 13.3%, and 2.5% of cervical, coeliac, and sacral ganglia, respectively. Cervical and coeliac ganglia had a higher rate of PSMA-positive uptake than sacral ganglia. Choline uptake was highest in coeliac ganglia followed by cervical and sacral ganglia. PSMA, choline or FDG uptake in LNM was all significantly higher than ganglia. ROC curve analysis revealed that at a 4.1 SUVmax cutoff of PSMA-PET, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of LNM identification was 88.4%, 97.9% and 96.2%, respectively. ROC curve analysis revealed that at a 2.35 SUVmax cutoff for choline-PET, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of LNM identification was 95.0%, 92.6% and 93.0%, respectively. ROC curve analysis revealed that at a 2.55 SUVmax cutoff for FDG-PET, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of LNM identification was 77.3%, 87.2%, and 81.9%, respectively. PSMA-, Choline- and FDG-positive ganglia are mainly band-shaped; most LNMs exhibited nodular and teardrop-shaped configuration.Conclusion68Ga-PSMA and 11C-choline uptake in ganglia was common, and FDG-positive ganglia were observed at lower frequency. Using 68Ga-PSMA, 11C-choline and 18F-FDG uptake and anatomic location and configuration, the differentiation of ganglia from adjacent LNM is feasible.
