9 FDG Principles : Increased glucose metabolism as universal sign of malignant disease Glucose transporter proteins (GLUT-1) Hexoquinase Glucose 6-phosphat FDG FDG 6-phosphat6

10 Rationale of PET with FDG Glucose transporter in malignant cells up-regulated Phosphorylation (hexokinase) ) in malignant cells is activated Decrease of FDGlucose-6-phosphatase FDG in tumor cells

11 Rationale of PET with FDG - Increase FDG in tumor cells - Quantification of metabolic activity (SUV - High image contrast, excellent spatial resolution. - Applicable without hormone withdrawal.

12 Why use PET in the follow up of Thyroid cancer?

15 ossible reasons : mutation and/or selection of odine negative tumor cells due to RI-therapy When is Pet Indicated in patients with thyroid carcinoma? Measurable Thyroglobulin serum levels without detection of radioiodine accumulating tissue (after complete ablation of thyroid) ) = TG +, PCI - ecurrences of DCT have often lost the ability to oncentrate radioiodine (RI), while increasead lucose metabolism is present.

16 When is Pet Indicated in patients with thyroid carcinoma? igh risk patients G or very low, anti-tg tg CI I Recurrences of DCT have often lost the ability t concentrate radioiodine (RI) and to produce TG.

33 etter Pet accuracy with high TSH

34 Relationship between TSH and FDG Uptake by Thyroid Cells TSH activates (indirectly) glucose transport Sisson et al, JCEM 1993 Thus, higher accumulation of FDG in thyroid cancer cells could be expected in case of an elevated serum TSH.

35 FDG PET in DTC under Endogenous TSH (PET under suppression x PET Hypothyroisis) og et al (J Nucl Med 2000 Dec; 41(12): ) 95) erly patients with known metastatic disease 10 (7 fol,, 3 pap), 17 lesions T in euthyrosis (TSH ) vs..

36 Hypothesis Exogenous TSH stimulation (rh TSH) s hormone medication might cause maximal ivation of FDG uptake by thyroid carcinoma cells

52 Conclusions DG-PET uptake in residual/recurrent thyroid a marker of biologic tumor behavior which rrelates with tumor aggressiveness. DG uptake appears to be a better marker of mor aggressiveness than Tg which ca be low in mors which have undergone dedifferentiation.

53 Conclusions t may be helpful in some patients by showing ite of cancer which had not been identified by ther imaging tests et is not infallible in this group of patients: b alse positive and false negative may occur. ET scan is not required and not recommended or routine follow up.

54 Conclusions For DTC tumor imaging FDG-PET appears to be usef in hypothyroidism (or after administration of rh TS in euthyrodism) ) in combination with WBS. Injection of Thyrogen (0.9mg I.M.) on day prior FDG-PET Fasting for 12 hours prior to PET If necessary, normalization of serum glucose levels.
