    Abstract Introduction: Poly-ADP-ribose-polymerase inhibitors (PARPi), which exploit the processes of so-called 'synthetic lethality,' have been successfully implemented in oncological practice. However, not all patients respond to PARPi, and there is an unmet need for noninvasive biomarkers suitable for patient selection and monitoring during PARPi therapy.
    Areas covered: The first clinical applications of molecular imaging with positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with [18F]-FluorThanatrace ([18F]-FTT) and [18F]-PARPi, highly effective PARP-ligands, in patients with several malignancies (head and neck, ovarian, prostate, and breast cancer) are covered, with a particular focus on its potential for pre-treatment selection and follow-up.
    Expert opinion: By a search made on the most common database, such as PubMed and Google Scholar in a period from January 2010 and 2023, first clinical evidence suggests that PET/CT with [18F]-FTT and [18F]-PARPi might represent a reliable tool for in vivo imaging and quantification of PARP-1 expression in ovarian, prostate, breast, head, and neck cancer, supporting their potential usefulness for patient selection before PARPi-therapies. In addition, a reduction in [18F]-FTT uptake has been registered after therapy initiation and seems to be correlated with patient outcome after PARPi-based regimens. Further studies are needed to better address the value of PARPI-radiolabeled PET imaging in these clinical settings, especially as it concerns technical features such as optimal scan modality (dynamic vs. static) and timing.

    Abstract We report a case of a patient performing a positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) scan with [18F]F-Choline for biochemical relapse (Prostate specific antigen (PSA) 1.2 ng/ml) of prostate cancer. Two large areas of focal uptake with a cold core within the liver were observed. A contrast-enhanced ultrasound scan performed after the PET scan characterized these lesions as cavernous hepatic hemangiomas, and therefore, a biopsy was not performed; 3 years of follow-up and PET and MRI finding stability confirmed the benignity of their nature.

    Abstract Published experiences related to the prognostic relevance of negative or positive FDG PET/CT in patients treated for ovarian cancer for progression-free survival and overall survival are typically heterogeneous retrospective analyses. Several points have been well defined, these are as follows: (a) there is a correlation between FDG tumor uptake and prognosis; (b) ovarian cancer patients treated by neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy can be divided into responders with reduction in tumor FDG uptake during and after treatment and nonresponders where tumor FDG uptake remains stable or increases after treatment;

    Abstract Ovarian cancer is one of the most common gynecologic cancers and one of the leading causes of cancer death in women. It is often asymptomatic in early stages, and thus most patients are diagnosed when it is of advanced stage. For these reasons, the role of biomarkers and tomographic imaging is crucial. Fludeoxyglucose F 18 PET/CT is a useful imaging modality in different clinical settings of the disease, overcoming some limits of conventional imaging and influencing prognosis and therapeutic approaches. PET/MR imaging is an emerging modality, and its potential role remains to be explored.

    Abstract Multiple paraganglioma (PGL) syndromes related to succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) gene mutations are rare hereditary conditions. These present with heterogeneous clinical signs and symptoms and in many cases are difficult to classify. We summarize the pathophysiological, clinical, laboratory, and morphological and functional imaging characteristics of SDH gene mutation PGLs, emphasizing F-FDG and F-DOPA PET/CT. We correlate clinical and genetic features of SDH-related PGLs with specific PET radiopharmaceuticals, with the aim to obtain an "individualized" diagnostic approach.

    Abstract Over the last several years, molecular imaging has gained a primary role in the evaluation of patients with brain metastases (BM). Therefore, the "Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology" (RANO) group recommends amino acid radiotracers for the assessment of BM. Our review summarizes the current use of positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracers in patients with BM, ranging from present to future perspectives with new PET radiotracers, including the role of radiomics and potential theranostics approaches. A comprehensive search of PubMed results was conducted. All studies published in English up to and including December 2022 were reviewed. Current evidence confirms the important role of amino acid PET radiotracers for the delineation of BM extension, for the assessment of response to therapy, and particularly for the differentiation between tumor progression and radionecrosis. The newer radiotracers explore non-invasively different biological tumor processes, although more consistent findings in larger clinical trials are necessary to confirm preliminary results. Our review illustrates the role of molecular imaging in patients with BM. Along with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the gold standard for diagnosis of BM, PET is a useful complementary technique for processes that otherwise cannot be obtained from anatomical MRI alone.

    Abstract Background: prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligand PET has been recently incorporated into international guidelines for several different indications in prostate cancer (PCa) patients. However, there are still some open questions regarding the role of PSMA ligand PET in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). The aim of this work is to assess the clinical value of PSMA ligand PET/CT in patients with CRPC.
    Results: PSMA ligand PET has demonstrated higher detection rates in comparison to conventional imaging and allows for a significant reduction in the number of M0 CRPC patients. However, its real impact on patients' prognosis is still an open question. Moreover, in CRPC patients, PSMA ligand PET presents some sensitivity and specificity limitations. Due to its heterogeneity, CRPC may present a mosaic of neoplastic clones, some of which could be PSMA-/FDG+, or vice versa. Likewise, unspecific bone uptake (UBU) and second primary neoplasms (SNPs) overexpressing PSMA in the neoangiogenic vessels represent potential specificity issues. Integrated multi-tracer imaging (PSMA ligand and [
