    Reassessing Patterns of Response to Immunotherapy with PET: From Morphology to Metabolism
    (2021) COSTA, Larissa B.; QUEIROZ, Marcelo A.; BARBOSA, Felipe G.; NUNES, Rafael F.; ZANIBONI, Elaine C.; RUIZ, Mariana Mazo; JARDIM, Denis; MARIN, Jose Flavio Gomes; CERRI, Giovanni G.; BUCHPIGUEL, Carlos A.
    Cancer demands precise evaluation and accurate and timely assessment of response to treatment. Imaging must be performed early during therapy to allow adjustments to the course of treatment. For decades, cross-sectional imaging provided these answers, showing responses to the treatment through changes in tumor size. However, with the emergence of immune checkpoint inhibitors, complex immune response patterns were revealed that have quickly highlighted the limitations of this approach. Patterns of response beyond tumor size have been recognized and include cystic degeneration, necrosis, hemorrhage, and cavitation. Furthermore, new unique patterns of response have surfaced, like pseudoprogression and hyperprogression, while other patterns were shown to be deceptive, such as unconfirmed progressive disease. This evolution led to new therapeutic evaluation criteria adapted specifically for immunotherapy. Moreover, inflammatory adverse effects of the immune checkpoint blockade were identified, many of which were life threatening and requiring prompt intervention. Given complex concepts like tumor microenvironment and novel therapeutic modalities in the era of personalized medicine, increasingly sophisticated imaging techniques are required to address the intricate patterns of behavior of different neoplasms. Fluorine 18-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT has rapidly emerged as one such technique that spans both molecular biology and immunology. This imaging technique is potentially capable of identifying and tracking prognostic biomarkers owing to its combined use of anatomic and metabolic imaging, which enables it to characterize biologic processes in vivo. This tailored approach may provide whole-body quantification of the metabolic burden of disease, providing enhanced prediction of treatment response and improved detection of adverse events.

    Prognostic value of F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/computed tomography metabolic parameters measured in the primary tumor and suspicious lymph nodes before neoadjuvant therapy in patients with esophageal carcinoma
    (2021) TUSTUMI, Francisco; DUARTE, Paulo Schiavom; ALBENDA, David Gutierrez; TAKEDA, Flavio Roberto; SALLUM, Rubens Antonio Aissar; RIBEIRO JUNIOR, Ulysses; BUCHPIGUEL, Carlos Alberto; CECCONELLO, Ivan
    Background F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/computed tomography (F-18-FDG PET/CT) metabolic parameters are prognostic indicators in several neoplasms. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of the maximum and average standardized uptake value (SUVmax and SUVavg), metabolic tumor value (MTV), and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) measured in the primary tumor and suspicious lymph nodes preneoadjuvant therapy in patients submitted to surgical resection for esophageal cancer. Methods A cohort of 113 patients with esophageal cancer who performed F-18-FDG PET/CT preneoadjuvant therapy was assessed. The association of the SUV, MTV, and TLG measured in the primary tumor and in the suspicious lymph nodes with the overall survival was assessed. It was also analyzed other potentially confounding variables such as age, sex, clinical stage, and histologic subtype. The analyses were performed using Kaplan-Meier curve, log-rank test, and Cox regression. Results The univariate analyses showed that the MTV and TLG in the primary tumor, the SUV in the suspicious lymph nodes, the age, the histologic subtype, and the clinical stage were associated with survival after surgery (P <= 0.05). In the Cox regression multivariate analyses, all variables identified in the univariate analyses but the clinical stage were associated with survival after surgery (P <= 0.05). Conclusion In esophageal cancer patients, some of the F-18-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters measured in the primary tumor and in the suspicious lymph nodes before the neoadjuvant therapy are independent indicators of overall survival and appear to be more important than the clinical stage in the prognostic definition of this group of patients.

    11C-PK11195 plasma metabolization has the same rate in multiple sclerosis patients and healthy controls: a cross-sectional study
    (2021) SOUZA, Aline Morais de; PITOMBEIRA, Milena Sales; SOUZA, Larissa Estessi de; MARQUES, Fabio Luiz Navarro; BUCHPIGUEL, Carlos Alberto; REAL, Caroline Cristiano; FARIA, Daniele de Paula
    11C-PK11195 is a positron emitter tracer used for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging of innate immune cell activation in studies of neuroinflammatory diseases. For the image quantitative analysis, it is necessary to quantify the intact fraction of this tracer in the arterial plasma during imaging acquisition (plasma intact fraction). Due to the complexity and costs involved in this analysis it is important to evaluate the real necessity of individual analysis in each 11C-PK11195 PET imaging acquisition. The purpose of this study is to compare 11C-PK11195 plasma metabolization rate between healthy controls and multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and evaluate the interference of sex, age, treatment, and disease phenotype in the tracer intact fraction measured in arterial plasma samples. 11C-PK11195 metabolization rate in arterial plasma was quantified by high performance liquid chromatography in samples from MS patients (n = 50) and healthy controls (n = 23) at 20, 45, and 60 minutes after 11C-PK11195 injection. Analyses were also stratified by sex, age, treatment type, and MS phenotype. The results showed no significant differences in the metabolization rate of healthy controls and MS patients, or in the stratified samples. In conclusion, 11C-PK11195 metabolization has the same rate in patients with MS and healthy controls, which is not affected by sex, age, treatment, and disease phenotype. Thus, these findings could contribute to exempting the necessity for tracer metabolization determination in all 11C-PK11195 PET imaging acquisition, by using a population metabolization rate average. The study procedures were approved by the Ethics Committee for Research Projects Analysis of the Hospital das Clinicas of the University of Sao Paulo Medical School (approval No. 624.065) on April 23, 2014.

    PET/MRI Characterization of Mucinous Versus Nonmucinous Components of Rectal Adenocarcinoma: A Comparison of Tumor Metabolism and Cellularity
    (2021) QUEIROZ, Marcelo A.; NAVES, Anarosa; DREYER, Priscilla R.; CERRI, Giovanni G.; BUCHPIGUEL, Carlos A.
    OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether FDG PET/MRI can be used to differentiate the mucinous from the nonmucinous components of primary rectal tumors and to compare the glycolytic metabolism on PET with tumor cellularity on DWI in both components. SUBJECTS AND METHODS. Ninety-nine patients who underwent FDG PET/MRI for staging of primary rectal cancer were included in this prospective analysis. MRI depicted the mucin component through the tumor volume. Separate volumes of interest were drawn on both mucinous and nonmucinous components and propagated to PET and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) mapping. Maximum and mean standardized uptake values (SUVmax, SUVmean) and maximum, mean, and minimum ADC values (ADC(max), ADC(mean), ADC(min)) were recorded and compared between areas with mucinous and nonmucinous components. Whole-body PET/MRI was also used to evaluate for the presence of distant metastases. Nonparametric testing was used to compare the two groups of patients: those with tumors with a mucinous component and those with tumors without a mucinous component. Logistic regression analysis was performed to calculate the association risk between mucinous component and metastatic disease. RESULTS. Seventeen patients (17.2%) had a mucinous component within the tumor on T2-weighted MRI. Most of these patients had advanced disease, the mucinous component tumors being in significantly higher T categories than the tumors without a mucinous component (88.2% vs 61.0%; p = 0.032). SUVmax (7.4 vs 16.7; p = 0.002) and SUVmean (5.4 vs 13.4; p = 0.001) were significantly lower in tumors with a mucinous component than in those without a mucinous component. Tumor ADC measurements were not different between tumors with and those without a mucinous component (ADC mean, 1.4 vs 1.6; p = 0.361). There was no association between presence of a mucinous component within the primary rectal tumor and presence of synchronous metastases (odds ratio, 1.1 [0.4-3.0]; p = 0.904). Moreover, the occurrence of metastases in patients with mucinous component tumors (7/17 [41.2%]) was not different from that in patients with tumors without a mucinous component (28/82 [34.1%]) (p = 0.887). CONCLUSION. PET/MRI can be used to differentiate the mucinous and nonmucinous components within primary rectal adenocarcinoma on the basis of metabolic status. The FDG uptake is significantly lower in the mucinous component, but tumor cellularity based on MRI and DWI findings is not. Despite being associated with a higher T category in the sample of patients in this study, the presence of a mucinous component seems not to be associated with increased risk of synchronous metastases.

    Metabolic and Structural Signatures of Speech and Language Impairment in Corticobasal Syndrome: A Multimodal PET/MRI Study
    (2021) PARMERA, Jacy Bezerra; ALMEIDA, Isabel Junqueira de; OLIVEIRA, Marcos Castello Barbosa de; SILAGI, Marcela Lima; CARNEIRO, Camila de Godoi; STUDART-NETO, Adalberto; ONO, Carla Rachel; BARBOSA, Egberto Reis; NITRINI, Ricardo; BUCHPIGUEL, Carlos Alberto; BRUCKI, Sonia Maria Dozzi; COUTINHO, Artur Martins
    Introduction: Corticobasal syndrome (CBS) is a progressive neurological disorder related to multiple underlying pathologies, including four-repeat tauopathies, such as corticobasal degeneration and progressive supranuclear palsy, and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Speech and language are commonly impaired, encompassing a broad spectrum of deficits. We aimed to investigate CBS speech and language impairment patterns in light of a multimodal imaging approach. Materials and Methods: Thirty-one patients with probable CBS were prospectively evaluated concerning their speech-language, cognitive, and motor profiles. They underwent positron emission tomography with [F-18]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG-PET) and [C-11]Pittsburgh Compound-B (PIB-PET) on a hybrid PET-MRI machine to assess their amyloid status. PIB-PET images were classified based on visual and semi-quantitative analyses. Quantitative group analyses were performed on FDG-PET data, and atrophy patterns on MRI were investigated using voxel-based morphometry (VBM). Thirty healthy participants were recruited as imaging controls. Results: Aphasia was the second most prominent cognitive impairment, presented in 67.7% of the cases, following apraxia (96.8%). We identified a wide linguistic profile, ranging from nonfluent variant-primary progressive aphasia to lexical-semantic deficits, mostly with impaired verbal fluency. PIB-PET was classified as negative (CBS-A- group) in 18/31 (58%) and positive (CBS-A+ group) in 13/31 (42%) patients. The frequency of dysarthria was significantly higher in the CBS-A- group than in the CBS-A+ group (55.6 vs. 7.7%, p = 0.008). CBS patients with dysarthria had a left-sided hypometabolism at frontal regions, with a major cluster at the left inferior frontal gyrus and premotor cortex. They showed brain atrophy mainly at the opercular frontal gyrus and putamen. There was a positive correlation between [F-18]FDG uptake and semantic verbal fluency at the left inferior (p = 0.006, R-2 = 0.2326), middle (0.0054, R-2 = 0.2376), and superior temporal gyri (p = 0.0066, R-2 = 0.2276). Relative to the phonemic verbal fluency, we found a positive correlation at the left frontal opercular gyrus (p = 0.0003, R-2 = 0.3685), the inferior (p = 0.0004, R-2 = 0.3537), and the middle temporal gyri (p = 0.0001, R-2 = 0.3993). Discussion: In the spectrum of language impairment profile, dysarthria might be helpful to distinguish CBS patients not related to AD. Metabolic and structural signatures depicted from this feature provide further insights into the motor speech production network and are also helpful to differentiate CBS variants.

    Dramatic Response to Pembrolizumab Monotherapy in a Patient With ARID1A-Mutant Lung Adenocarcinoma: Case Report
    (2021) HARADA, Guilherme; AMANO, Mariane Tami; ANTONACIO, Fernanda Frozoni; BEHAR, Marina Henkin; NABUCO-DE-ARAUJO, Pedro Henrique Xavier; BUCHPIGUEL, Carlos Alberto; CASTRO JUNIOR, Gilberto de
    Immunotherapy based on immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) either alone or in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy has dramatically changed the therapeutic scenario in non-small cell lung cancer. However, only a subset of patients derives clinical benefits. Although programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and tumor mutational burden (TMB) are known to be prognostic and demonstrated utility in selecting patients for immunotherapy response, they are imperfect biomarkers. Recent evidence demonstrates that AT-rich interaction domain 1A (ARID1A) deficiency is associated with high antitumor immunity, mismatch repair and TMB, and thus may potentially contribute as a predictive biomarker for ICIs. We herein describe a 60-year-old woman, former smoker, who was diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma metastatic to the left adrenal gland, with a PD-L1 expression of 60%. Next-generation sequencing test revealed an ARID1A mutation (F2141fs* 59, variant allele frequency = 22.5%), TMB of 92 mut/Mb and stable microsatellite status. Given the high PD-L1 expression, elevated TMB, and ARID1A mutation, the patient started on first-line treatment with pembrolizumab monotherapy, and, 5 months after initiating treatment, presented an expressive reduction of lung lesion and a complete response of the adrenal gland. This case illustrates a dramatic response to ICI monotherapy in a lung cancer patient with ARID1A mutation. Predictive biomarkers for immune checkpoint blockade are of the utmost importance to select the patients who truly benefit from immunotherapy. The combination of biomarkers may be the most effective strategy to improve outcomes with ICIs, and ARID1A status should definitely be taken into account when present.

    Combined effects of theta-burst stimulation with transcranial direct current stimulation of the prefrontal cortex: study protocol of a randomized, double-blinded, sham-controlled trial using Tc-99m-ECD SPECT
    (2021) RAZZA, Lais B.; BUCHPIGUEL, Carlos A.; SMET, Stefanie De; KLEIN, Izio; BAEKEN, Chris; GALHARDONI, Ricardo; VANDERHASSELT, Marie-Anne; BRUNONI, Andre R.
    Introduction: Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) as monotherapy has been increasingly used to enhance the activity of brain networks. However, it is unclear whether a combination of distinct NIBS approaches could enhance prefrontal cortical (PFC) activity. Objective: We propose to investigate the combined and standalone effects of two NIBS modalities on the PFC through a working memory task, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and salivary cortisol. We hypothesize that the combined protocol will provoke greater changes in the collected measures compared to the remining protocols. Methods: A randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled, full-factorial design will be conducted. The effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) will be investigated over four different sessions (sham tDCS + sham iTBS, anodal tDCS + sham iTBS, anodal tDCS + active iTBS and sham tDCS + active iTBS) in 30 healthy adult volunteers. A 99mTc-ethylene cysteine dimer (99mTC-ECD) will be administered during the NIBS session and neuroimaging will be acquired within one hour. Salivary cortisol will be collected before and after each session and an n-back working memory task will be applied after the end of each NIBS session. The outcomes will be cerebral perfusion alterations (99mTC-ECD SPECT), accuracy and reaction time in the n-back task, and changes in salivary cortisol level. Conclusion: The results from this trial can guide future therapeutic protocols for NIBS treatments stimulating the PFC by demonstrating that the combination of NIBS techniques is feasible, tolerable, and can lead to greater enhancement of PFC activity.
