abstract = {We investigated the value of
O-(2-18F-fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine (18F-FET) PET for treatment
monitoring of immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) or targeted
therapy (TT) alone or in combination with radiotherapy in
patients with brain metastasis (BM) since contrast-enhanced
MRI often remains inconclusive. Methods: We retrospectively
identified 40 patients with 107 BMs secondary to melanoma (n
= 29 with 75 BMs) or non–small cell lung cancer (n = 11
with 32 BMs) treated with ICI or TT who had 18F-FET PET (n =
60 scans) for treatment monitoring from 2015 to 2019. Most
patients (n = 37; $92.5\%)$ had radiotherapy during the
course of the disease. In 27 patients, 18F-FET PET was used
to differentiate treatment-related changes from BM relapse
after ICI or TT. In 13 patients, 18F-FET PET was performed
for response assessment to ICI or TT using baseline and
follow-up scans (median time between scans, 4.2 mo). In all
lesions, static and dynamic 18F-FET PET parameters were
obtained (i.e., mean tumor-to-brain ratios [TBR],
time-to-peak values). Diagnostic accuracies of PET
parameters were evaluated by
receiver-operating-characteristic analyses using the
clinical follow-up or neuropathologic findings as a
reference. Results: A TBR threshold of 1.95 differentiated
BM relapse from treatment-related changes with an accuracy
of $85\%$ (P = 0.003). Metabolic responders to ICI or TT on
18F-FET PET had a significantly longer stable follow-up
(threshold of TBR reduction relative to baseline, $≥10\%;$
accuracy, $82\%;$ P = 0.004). Furthermore, at follow-up,
time to peak in metabolic responders increased significantly
(P = 0.019). Conclusion: 18F-FET PET may add valuable
information for treatment monitoring in BM patients treated
with ICI or TT.},
