    Abstract Abstract: An 83-year-old man with prostate cancer post external beam radiotherapy presented with biochemical recurrence (PSA, 29.7 ng/mL). PSMA-targeted 18F-Piflufolastat PET/CT was performed, but no avid lesions were identified. Given the high PSA and high suspicion for recurrence, an 18F-Fluciclovine PET/CT was performed. Fifteen 18F-fluciclovine-avid pelvic, abdominal, retrocrural, and left supraclavicular nodal metastases were then identified. Although the majority of prostate cancer metastases are avid on PSMA-targeted PET, some metastases are not. This case demonstrates the ability of metabolic tracers such as 18F-Fluciclovine PET to localize and quantitate disease extent in a patient whose metastases are not avid on PSMA-targeted PET.

    Abstract Abstract: A 35-year-old woman presented with breast cancer diagnosed during pregnancy. Eleven days after delivery, the patient underwent FDG PET/CT for systemic staging. Avidity was seen diffusely in both breasts, with a more avid focus at the site of a biopsy clip in the right breast. There were no lymph nodes or distant metastases. The patient was actively breast feeding, explaining the diffuse breast avidity. This case demonstrates both malignant and benign FDG avidity in the breasts at the same time, with a focal FDG-avid right breast malignancy identified among bilateral breast parenchyma with elevated physiologic FDG-avid secondary to breast feeding.

    Abstract Positron Emission Tomography (PET) has been growing in usage for patients with breast cancer, due to an increased number of FDA-approved PET radiotracers pertinent to patients with breast cancer as well as increased prospective evidence for the value of these agents. The leading PET radiotracer for patients with breast cancer is 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG), which measures glucose metabolism. There is prospective evidence for the use of 18F-FDG PET in systemic staging of newly diagnosed locally advanced breast cancer (stages IIB-IIIC), monitoring breast cancer treatment response, and detecting breast cancer recurrence, particularly in no special type (NST) breast cancer. 16α-18F-fluoro-17β-Fluoroestradiol (18F-FES) is a radiolabeled estrogen which evaluates estrogen receptor (ER) accessible for estrogen binding. There is prospective evidence supporting 18F-FES PET as a predictive biomarker for selecting patients with metastatic breast cancer for endocrine therapies. 18F-FES PET has also been shown to be valuable in the evaluation of ER status of lesions which are difficult to biopsy, for evaluation of ER status in lesions that are equivocal on other imaging modalities, and for selecting optimal dosage of novel ER-targeted systemic therapies in early clinical trials. Multiple investigators have suggested 18F-FES PET will have an increasing role for patients with invasive lobular breast cancer (ILC), which is less optimally evaluated by 18F-FDG PET. Sodium 18F-Fluoride (18F-NaF) evaluates bone turnover and has been effective in evaluation of malignancies which commonly metastasize to bone. In patients with metastatic breast cancer, 18F-NaF PET/CT has demonstrated superior sensitivity for osseous metastases than 99mTc-MDP or CT. In addition to these three FDA-approved PET radiotracers, there are multiple novel radiotracers currently in clinical trials with potential to further increase PET usage for patients with breast cancer.

    Abstract Estrogen receptor (ER) is highly expressed in 70%-80% of breast cancers and plays a central role in prognosis and treatment selection for patients with breast cancer. The gold standard for determining ER status in breast cancer has been pathology; however, tissue samples are invasive to obtain and only provide information on individual lesions. It is increasingly recognized that there is often spatial and temporal heterogeneity of ER status between lesions, which limits our ability to make decisions based on only one or a few tissue samples. Likewise, it is increasingly recognized that ER may be present, but not functional, thus knowledge of the ER status on pathology is not sufficient to determine the role ER plays in oncogenesis in individual patients or to make optimal treatment decisions. 16α-18F-fluoro-17β-Fluoroestradiol (FES) is a radiolabeled form of estrogen that binds to ER and allows non-invasive, whole-body evaluation of functional ER. FES has been shown to correlate with ER immunohistochemistry, successfully demonstrate ER heterogeneity, and provide high diagnostic accuracy for the detection of ER-positive tumors. FES was FDA approved May 20, 2020, as a diagnostic agent for the detection of ER-positive lesions as an adjunct to biopsy in patients with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer. FES has demonstrated sensitive detection of ER-positive malignancy in several anatomic sites, including bone, lymph nodes, and brain. Visualization of liver lesions is hampered by physiologic liver and biliary excretion of FES. Potential clinical applications of FES include selecting appropriate patients for hormonal therapies, assessing ER-status in lesions that are difficult to biopsy, solving clinical dilemmas when there are inconclusive results from other diagnostic studies, systemic staging of ER-positive breast cancers with low metabolic activity and not well visualized by FDG, and selecting optimal dosage for current or novel ER-targeted therapies to abrogate ER function and oncogenesis. FES binding to ER is blocked by selective estrogen receptor modulators, such as tamoxifen, and selective estrogen degraders, such as fulvestrant. Patients will need to be withdrawn from these treatments prior to FES imaging. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of FES PET, how it is performed, potential clinical applications, limitations, and what may be on the horizon for this growing tool for the care of patients with breast cancer.

    Abstract Abstract: A 67-year-old woman presented with shortness of breath and a ventilation/perfusion scan was performed. Initial images demonstrated mismatched bilateral apical defects that would be classified as high probability for pulmonary emboli. However, it was unusual that the defects were only in the bilateral apices. Investigation discovered that 99m Tc-MAA was administered while the patient was in a seated position. Repeat scan the following day with the patient in the correct, supine, position during 99m Tc-MAA administration demonstrated no defects. In this case, incorrect patient positioning could have resulted in an incorrect diagnosis of pulmonary emboli and inappropriate treatment of the patient.

    Abstract Breast cancer (BC) remains one of the leading causes of death among women. The management and outcome in BC are strongly influenced by a multidisciplinary approach, which includes available treatment options and different imaging modalities for accurate response assessment. Among breast imaging modalities, MR imaging is the modality of choice in evaluating response to neoadjuvant therapy, whereas F-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography, conventional computed tomography (CT), and bone scan play a vital role in assessing response to therapy in metastatic BC. There is an unmet need for a standardized patient-centric approach to use different imaging methods for response assessment.
