abstract = {The aim of the study was to compare presurgical
(18)F-fluoroethyl-L: -tyrosine ((18)F-FET) uptake and
Gd-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) enhancement on
MRI (Gd) with intraoperative 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)
fluorescence in cerebral gliomas.(18)F-FET positron emission
tomography (PET) was performed in 30 patients with brain
lesions suggestive of diffuse WHO grade II or III gliomas on
MRI. PET and MRI data were coregistered to guide
neuronavigated biopsies before resection. After oral
application of 5-ALA, 38 neuronavigated biopsies were taken
from predefined tumour areas that were positive or negative
for (18)F-FET or Gd and checked for 5-ALA fluorescence.
(18)F-FET uptake with a mean tumour to brain ratio ≥1.6
was rated as positive.Of 38 biopsies, 21 corresponded to
high-grade glioma tissue (HGG) of WHO grade III (n = 19)
or IV (n = 2) and 17 biopsies to low-grade glioma tissue
(LGG) of WHO grade II. In biopsies corresponding to HGG,
(18)F-FET PET was positive in $86\%$ (18/21), but 5-ALA and
Gd in only $57\%$ (12/21). A mismatch between Gd and 5-ALA
was observed in 6 of 21 cases of HGG biopsy samples (3
Gd-positive/5-ALA-negative and 3
Gd-negative/5-ALA-positive). In biopsies corresponding to
LGG, (18)F-FET was positive in $41\%$ (7/17), while 5-ALA
and Gd were negative in all but one instance. All tumour
areas with 5-ALA fluorescence were positive on (18)F-FET
PET.There are differences between (18)F-FET and 5-ALA uptake
in cerebral gliomas owing to a limited sensitivity of 5-ALA
to detect tumour tissue especially in LGG. (18)F-FET PET is
more sensitive to detect glioma tissue than 5-ALA
fluorescence and should be considered as an additional tool
in resection planning.},
