Dostarlimab is an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) targeting the Programmed-Death-1 (PD-1) co-receptor, recently approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a novel therapy for recurrent or advanced endometrial cancer. We report the case of a 64-year-old woman, experiencing vaginal recurrence with microsatellite instability high/hypermutated of a FIGO stage IA grade 2 endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma. She received preoperative chemotherapy with four cycles of carboplatin plus paclitaxel, with stable disease on pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT). Dostarlimab (500 mg intravenously every 3 weeks) was then introduced. The subsequent evaluation after three perfusions demonstrated a complete metabolic response on 18F-FDG PET/CT according to immunotherapy-modified PET response criteria in solid tumors (imPERCIST) criteria, then confirmed by MRI according to immune response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (iRECIST). This clinical description suggests that 18F-FDG PET/CT might take place among available tools for guiding the preoperative management for recurrent endometrial cancer patients receiving dostarlimab immunotherapy that should be further explored through clinical trials.

Abstract Aim To evaluate the feasibility of early metabolic response assessment with 18F-FDG PET/CT in patients with breast cancer liver metastases 4 weeks after radioembolization with Yttrium-90 labeled microspheres. Methods 25 patients (mean age 58y, range 40–74) with advanced stage liver metastases of breast cancer were treated with 1.9 ± 0.4 GBq of 90Y-microspheres in the salvage setting and underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT at baseline and 4 weeks post-radioembolization. 14 patients (56 %) had an excessive hepatic tumor burden (> 50 % of total liver volume), 21 patients (84 %) had extrahepatic disease. Liver lesions with the highest SUVmax were selected as target lesions and a cut-off was set at 50 % reduction to separate responders from non-responders. The predictive impact of metabolic response on overall survival (OS) was investigated along with other prognostic factors. Results The median OS in this highly advanced metastatic cohort was 7 months (95 % CI, 5–9). All patients had a reduction in SUVmax (mean ΔSUVmax: –49 ± 26 %) at 4 weeks post-treatment. Patients with > 50 % SUVmax reduction survived longer (median OS 13 mo, 95 % CI 8–18) than the remaining patients (median OS 4 mo, 95 % CI 2–6; p = 0.001). From all investigated baseline factors including age, performance status, and presence of extra-hepatic disease, only the hepatic tumor burden had a significant impact on OS (p = 0.02). Conclusions This is the first preliminary evidence in breast cancer that early post-radioembolization molecular response assessment of treated liver metastases – as early as 4 weeks posttreatment – may predict survival. If confirmed by larger series, FDG PET/CT could be considered for early response-adapted treatment modifications.

Abstract Aim The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of 18F-FDG-PET/CT on treatment decision making in metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) patients. Methods This study retrospectively evaluated 18F-FDG-PET/CT scans to monitor response of metastatic GIST patients treated with palliative intent. Data from the Dutch GIST Registry was used. Early scans (<10 weeks after start of treatment) and late scans (>10 weeks after start of treatment) were scored on the impact in change of treatment. Results Sixty-one PET/CT scans were performed for treatment evaluation in 39 patients with metastatic GIST of which 36 were early scans and 25 were late scans. Early PET/CT scans led to a change in management in 5.6% of patients and late PET/CT scans led to a change in management in 56% of patients. Change in management was more often seen after scans with lack of metabolic response (48% vs. 11% in scans with metabolic response, p=0.002). Neither metabolic response nor change in treatment were more often seen in patients with KIT mutations compared to patients with non-KIT mutations (metabolic response 65% KIT vs. 46% non-KIT, p=0.33, and change in management 28% KIT vs. 21% non-KIT, p=0.74). Conclusion 18F-FDG-PET/CT is not recommended for early response evaluation in an unselected patient population with metastatic GIST, since it does not influence treatment decisions. 18F-FDG-PET/CT, however, can be useful for late response assessment, especially in case of indeterminate CT results.
