The Impact of a Negative 111 Indium-Capromab Pendetide Scan Before Salvage Radiotherapy

Abstract: Our early experience supports an improved prognosis in patients receiving salvage pelvic radiotherapy for biochemical recurrence after RP who have a negative pre-radiotherapy ProstaScint scan. However, this finding is not necessarily independent of pre-radiotherapy PSA.

“…Men with negative RIS scans were more likely to have a durable response with salvage radiotherapy. Consistent with other studies, 45,46 70% were biochemically controlled if there was no uptake seen outside the prostatic fossa compared to 22% of patients controlled when there was uptake outside the prostatic fossa and pelvis (P=0.0225). However, many of these studies had relatively short follow-up, and standard prognostic factors were in many cases not balanced between those with negative and positive RIS scans, limiting the ability to determine how much of the difference in outcome was due to RIS findings and how much was due to differences in prognostic factors.…”

“…111 In-capromab pendetide (ProstaScint) has been evaluated retrospectively in several studies. The results have been mixed, with some studies showing a better prognosis in the absence of uptake or solely intrapelvic uptake (48,49), and others failing to reveal any link between the radioimmunoscintigraphy results and biochemical progression-free survival (50)(51)(52)(53). The 11 C-choline positron emission tomography technique appears to be of use but is handicapped by the cameras' low spatial resolution-this makes it difficult to detect low-volume lesions and results in a poor negative predictive value (54).…”

“…To select patients for salvage radiotherapy for recurrence after prostatectomy, the 111 In-capromab pendetide scintigraphy (Prostascint) has been used (5,6). There are no data about the efficacy of this type of scintigraphy in cases of recurrence after external-beam radiotherapy (EBRT).…”
