abstract = {The novel 18F-labeled somatostatin receptor (SSTR)-directed
radiotracer [18F]SiTATE demonstrated promising results for
the imaging of various SSTR-expressing tumor types. Although
thyroid carcinomas (TC) express SSTR, data on [18F]SiTATE
PET/CT imaging in TC are lacking. This study explores the
use of [18F]SiTATE PET/CT in a patient cohort with
histologically proven TC.As part of a prospective
observational study at a single tertiary cancer center, 21
patients with TC (10 medullary (MTC) and 11 differentiated
(DTC)) who underwent at least one [18F]SiTATE PET/CT were
included (37 scans in total). Mean SUVmax and SUVmean of
tumoral lesions, mean total-tumor-volume (TTV), and
whole-body (WB)-SUVmax and WB-SUVmean on PET with their
standard deviations (SDs) were determined. PET parameters
were correlated to clinical parameters including tumor
marker levels (thyroglobulin for DTC, calcitonin for MTC).89
lesions were included in the analysis. Metastases were
localized in the bone, lymph nodes, lung, soft tissue, and
thyroid bed. Osseous (31 lesions; SUVmax 8.6 ± 8.0; SUVmean
5.8 ± 5.4) and nodal (37 lesions; SUVmax 8.7 ± 7.8;
SUVmean 5.7 ± 5.4) metastases showed the highest uptake.
The MTC disease burden on PET significantly correlated with
the calcitonin tumor marker level (e.g., TTV: r = 0.771, r2
= 0.594, p = 0.002). For DTC, no such correlation was
present.Our data demonstrate high feasibility of [18F]SiTATE
PET/CT in a small cohort of patients with MTC and DTC. The
use of [18F]SiTATE may overcome logistical disadvantages of
68Ga-based tracers and facilitate SSTR-targeted PET/CT
imaging of thyroid carcinoma.},
