abstract = {Assessment of residual tumor after resection of cerebral
gliomas can be difficult with MRI and may be improved by
amino acid PET. The aim of this experimental study was to
investigate uptake of (2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine
(18F-FET) and L-[methyl-3H]-methionine (3H-MET) in residual
tumor after surgery and possible false positive uptake in
treatment-related changes. Methods: F98 or GS-9L rat gliomas
were implanted into the brain of 64 rats. Tumors were
resected after one week of tumor growth and sham surgery was
performed in additional 10 animals. At different time points
after surgery (1, 2, 3, 7, 14-16 days), rats underwent ex
vivo dual tracer autoradiography using 18F-FET and 3H-MET.
Histological slices were evaluated by immunostainings for
cell density and astrogliosis. Tracer uptake was determined
by regions of interest and quantified by lesion-to-brain
ratios (L/B). Four animals underwent PET to examine time
activity curves of 18F-FET uptake. Results:
Treatment-related uptake with a mean L/B of 2.0 ± 0.3 for
18F-FET and a mean L/B of 1.7 ± 0.2 for 3H-MET was noted at
the rim of the resection cavity in the first week after
surgery which decreased significantly by 14-16 days (P <
0.01). Treatment-related tracer uptake was significantly
higher for 18F-FET than for 3H-MET (P < 0.001). Reactive
astrogliosis was noted in the vicinity of the resection
cavity from the second day after surgery. Time-activity
curves of 18F-FET uptake in those areas revealed constantly
increasing uptake. Conclusion: Surgery may induce
significant treatment-related 18F-FET and 3H-MET uptake in
the vicinity of the resection cavity in the first week after
surgery presumably caused by reactive astrogliosis.
Assessment of residual tumor after surgery by amino acid PET
seems to be more reliable after an interval of 14 days.},
