Each PET/CT scan wasevaluated in relation to lesion count, location and dignity.SUVmax was measured in primary tumours and PETpositivemetastases. Tumour-to-background SUVmax ratios(TBRSUVmax) were calculated for primary RCCs in relationto the surrounding normal renal parenchyma. Metastasis-tobackgroundSUVmax ratios (MBRSUVmax) were calculatedfor PET-positive metastases in relation to gluteal muscle.Results Five primary RCCs and 16 metastases were evaluated.The mean SUVmax of the primary RCCs was 9.9 ± 9.2(range 1.7 – 27.2). Due to high uptake in the surrounding renalparenchyma, the mean TBRSUVmax of the primary RCCs wasonly 0.2 ± 0.3 (range 0.02 – 0.7). Eight metastases showed focal68Ga-PSMA uptake (SUVmax 9.9 ± 8.3, range 3.4 – 25.6).The mean MBRSUVmax of these PET-positive metastases was11.7 ± 0.2 (range 4.4 – 28.1). All PET-negative metastaseswere subcentimetre lung metastases.Conclusion 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT appears to be a promisingmethod for detecting RCC metastases. However, no additionaldiagnostic value in assessing the primary tumour was found.}, cin = {INM-5 / KME}, ddc = {610}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)INM-5-20090406 / I:(DE-Juel1)VDB145}, pnm = {572 - (Dys-)function and Plasticity (POF3-572)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-572}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, UT = {WOS:000389242200013}, pubmed = {pmid:26996777}, doi = {10.1007/s00259-016-3360-2}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/824545}, }
