Brief summary
The aim of this study was to analyse usefulness of \[68Ga\]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT scans in preoperative differentiation between HGG and LGG in patients with suspicion of a tumor of glial origin in previously performed imaging examinations. The PET/CT scan will be compared with postoperative histopathological results and with additional immunohistochemical staining for PSMA expression.
Interventions
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST[68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT
The PET/CT image acquisition was performed from the skull to the mid-thigh (3-min per bed position, 3 iterations, 21 subsets) with a CT scan (120 kV, 170mAs reference) with dose modulation for anatomic correlation (CARE dose 4D) and attenuation correction on a Biograph 64 TruePoint (Siemens Medical Solutions Inc., USA) 60 min post injection of \[68Ga\]Ga-PSMA-11 (2 MBq per kg body weight).

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PET/CT vs histopathological diagnosis | through study completion, an average of 1.5 year | Comparison of the incidence of positive preoperative \[68Ga\]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT results with the final histopathological diagnosis based on the 5th edition of the WHO (World Health Organization) Classification of Tumours of the Central Nervous System (2021). The PET scan in this regard will be evaluated qualitatively - in terms of finding accumulation in the projection of the brain tumor (positive result) and lack of accumulation in the projection of the brain tumor (negative result). The histopathological diagnosis will take into account the subtypes of the tumor according on the 5th edition of the WHO (World Health Organization) Classification of Tumours of the Central Nervous System (2021) - including the histopathological examination and the genetic diagnosis - adult-type diffuse gliomas comprise of three distinct types: Astrocytoma, IDH-mutant, Oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant and 1p/19q-codeleted, and Glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype |

| PET/CT semiquantitive parameter SUVmean vs histopathological diagnosis | through study completion, an average of 1.5 year | Comparison of the preoperative \[68Ga\]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT semiquantitative parameters with with the final histopathological diagnosis. The mean standard uptake value (SUVmean) of each positive lesion were measured using the spherical volume of interest (VOI). The histopathological diagnosis will take into account the subtypes of the tumor according on the 5th edition of the WHO (World Health Organization) Classification of Tumours of the Central Nervous System (2021) - including the histopathological examination and the genetic diagnosis - adult-type diffuse gliomas comprise of three distinct types: Astrocytoma, IDH-mutant, Oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant and 1p/19q-codeleted, and Glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype. |
| PET/CT semiquantitive parameter - TBR vs histopathological diagnosis | through study completion, an average of 1.5 year | Comparison of the preoperative \[68Ga\]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT semiquantitative parameters with with the final histopathological diagnosis. The Target-to-background ratios (TBR) were calculated using SUVmax of the lesion divided by SUVmax of the background measured using a VOI of a similar diameter, placed in a distant, unaffected region, representing normal brain tissue. The histopathological diagnosis will take into account the subtypes of the tumor according on the 5th edition of the WHO (World Health Organization) Classification of Tumours of the Central Nervous System (2021) - including the histopathological examination and the genetic diagnosis - adult-type diffuse gliomas comprise of three distinct types: Astrocytoma, IDH-mutant, Oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant and 1p/19q-codeleted, and Glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype. |
| PET/CT semiquantitive parameter - TLR vs histopathological diagnosis | through study completion, an average of 1.5 year | Comparison of the preoperative \[68Ga\]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT semiquantitative parameters with with the final histopathological diagnosis. Target-to-liver background ratios (TLR) were calculated by dividing SUVmax of the lesion by SUVmean of the liver (the liver VOI of a similar diameter placed in the central area of the right liver lobe was used). The histopathological diagnosis will take into account the subtypes of the tumor according on the 5th edition of the WHO (World Health Organization) Classification of Tumours of the Central Nervous System (2021) - including the histopathological examination and the genetic diagnosis - adult-type diffuse gliomas comprise of three distinct types: Astrocytoma, IDH-mutant, Oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant and 1p/19q-codeleted, and Glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype. |
| PET/CT semiquantitive parameter - SUVmax vs immunohistopathological staining | through study completion, an average of 1.5 year | Comparison of the preoperative \[68Ga\]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT with the immunohistopathological staining of the tumour tissue. The maximal standard uptake value (SUVmax) of each positive lesion were measured using the spherical volume of interest (VOI). The immunoreaction will be analyzed in the endothelium and in tumor cells. A score will be assigned semiquantitatively based on staining intensity and distribution as follows: 0 - negative, 1- faint and weak staining at high power; 2- moderate intensity at low power; and 3- strong reaction at low power. |
