Learning Objectives
• To appreciate role and limitations of current modalities used in advanced prostate cancer (APC) assessment and follow-up
• To understand the emerging role of next generation imaging techniques such as whole body MRI (WB-MRI) and PET in assessing response to therapy in APC
• To understand the role of morphologic and diffusion weighted WB-MRI sequences in the assessment of osseous and extra-osseous metastatic disease
• To appreciate the different PET tracers which are currently being used in the assessment of APC
• Pearls and pitfalls of assessing patients with these next generation imaging solutions
Introduction What is Advanced Prostate Cancer?
• Advanced prostate cancer (APC) = patient who presents with metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis or after failed attempts at curative therapy
• Sites of metastases:
• Bone
• Lymph nodes (usually pelvic)
• Visceral metastases (liver, lungs) → infrequent
• APC with bone disease → skeletal morbidity → reduced quality of life → bone pain/pathological fractures/hypercalcemia/spinal cord compression
• Usually respond to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) → ADT leads to castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) state within 1-3 years
• Determining presence/volume/distribution of metastatic disease in APC using imaging → allows treatment options to be decided: systemic, radiotherapy and surgery → palliative intent
