description IntroductionAccurate detection and segmentation of the intraprostatic gross tumor volume (GTV) is pivotal for radiotherapy (RT) in primary prostate cancer (PCa) since it influences focal therapy target volumes and the patients’ cT stage. The study aimed to compare the performance of multiparametric resonance imaging (mpMRI) with [18F] PSMA-1007 positron emission tomography (PET) for intraprostatic GTV detection as well as delineation and to evaluate their respective influence on RT concepts.Materials and MethodsIn total, 93 patients from two German University Hospitals with [18F] PSMA-1007-PET/CT and MRI (Freiburg) or [18F] PSMA-1007-PET/MRI (Dresden) were retrospectively enrolled. Validated contouring techniques were applied for GTV-PET and -MRI segmentation. Absolute tumor volume and cT status were determined for each imaging method. The PCa distribution from histopathological reports based on biopsy cores and surgery specimen was used as reference in terms of laterality (unilateral vs. bilateral).ResultsIn the Freiburg cohort (n = 84), mpMRI and PET detected in median 2 (range: 1–5) and 3 (range: 1–8) GTVs, respectively (p < 0.01). The median GTV-MRI was significantly smaller than the GTV-PET, measuring 2.05 vs. 3.65 ml (p = 0.0005). PET had a statistically significant higher concordance in laterality with surgery specimen compared to mpMRI (p = 0.04) and biopsy (p < 0.01), respectively. PSMA PET led to more cT2c and cT3b stages, whereas cT3a stage was more pronounced in mpMRI. Based on the cT stage derived from mpMRI and PET information, 21 and 23 as well as 59 and 60 patients, respectively, were intermediate- and high-risk according to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) v1.2022 criteria. In the Dresden cohort (n = 9), similar results were observed.ConclusionIntraprostatic GTV segmentation based on [18F] PSMA-1007 PET results in more and larger GTVs compared to mpMRI. This influences focal RT target volumes and cT stage definition, but not the NCCN risk group.
