Potential Conflict of Interest
• None

Cancer Resistance
• Increased efflux of drug (P-glycoprotein and others)
• Decreased influx/transport
• Altered or absent binding sites
• Enzymatic inactivation
• Alternate growth pathways
![Page 5: PET/CT Imaging and Cancer Response to Treatment Dr. François Bénard](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042718/5681551a550346895dc2fbee/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Why use surrogate measures of tumour response?
• Ultimate goal (enhanced patient survival, quality of life, reduced costs) are appropriate endpoints for phase 3 trials
• Phase 2 trials need intermediate endpoints to speed up drug discovery and reduce trial costs
• Rapidly identify ineffective treatments• Speed up the identification of resistance and
target patients with sensitive or resistance phenotypes to identify causes (host-related, tumour related)
![Page 6: PET/CT Imaging and Cancer Response to Treatment Dr. François Bénard](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042718/5681551a550346895dc2fbee/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Treatment response biomarkers• Plasma or urine proteins (PSA, CA 15.3, CA 125, CEA)
• Circulating tumour cells
• Metabolomics profiles (urine, plasma)
• Histopathology/immunofluorescence (biopsies)
• Imaging methods– Conventional (morphological: CT, MRI, US)– Functional
• DCE/Diffusion MRI
• Perfusion CT
• Nuclear Medicine / PET
• Optical (surface imaging)
![Page 7: PET/CT Imaging and Cancer Response to Treatment Dr. François Bénard](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042718/5681551a550346895dc2fbee/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Conventional Tumor Response Assessment
• Usually performed using cross sectional imaging
• WHO criteria replaced with RECIST criteria• Modified RECIST criteria published 2009• Morphological measurements of solid
tumours• Assessment at least 8 weeks from treatment
initiation

RECIST 1.1
• Requires a measurable lesion– Size 10 mm (CT, caliper) to 20 mm (Chest X-
ray)– Enlarged lymph node > 15 mm in short axis– Non-measurable: < 10 mm (or nodes 10-15
mm short axis), leptomeningeal, ascites, pleural or pericardial effusion, inflammatory breast disease, lymphangitic involvement skin/lung, most bone metastases, previously irradiated fields, cystic lesions
![Page 9: PET/CT Imaging and Cancer Response to Treatment Dr. François Bénard](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042718/5681551a550346895dc2fbee/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
RECIST 1.1
• Up to 5 measurable lesions
• Maximum of 2 lesions per organ
• Selected by size (longest diameter)
• Lymph node size measured on shortest diameter
• Sum of the diameters of lesions (longest for non-nodal, shortest for nodes)
![Page 10: PET/CT Imaging and Cancer Response to Treatment Dr. François Bénard](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042718/5681551a550346895dc2fbee/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Treatment response prediction vs measurement
• Prediction– A test to predict response to treatment before it is
administered– Typically predicts sensitivity of a tumour to respond to
treatment– Classical examples: ER and HER2/neu in breast cancer
• Response measurement– Measurement of tumor sensitivity after onset of treatment– Biomarkers or imaging– Documents treatment resistance
![Page 11: PET/CT Imaging and Cancer Response to Treatment Dr. François Bénard](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042718/5681551a550346895dc2fbee/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Limitations of planar measurements
• Delay in identifying resistance• Not adapted to evaluate cytostatic rather than
cytotoxic treatments (progressive disease remains progressive disease even if tumor growth is slowed)
• May not identify the appearance of treatment resistant clones
• Not suitable for bone metastases or when no measurable lesion is available
• Residual fibrotic/necrotic masses
![Page 12: PET/CT Imaging and Cancer Response to Treatment Dr. François Bénard](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042718/5681551a550346895dc2fbee/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Functional Imaging in Cancer Response Assessment
• Conventional Nuclear Medicine– Bone scintigraphy and some receptor binding agents– Currently qualitative– Flare phenomena
• Contrast-enhanced CT– Perfusion CT– Density/enhancement signal changes
• Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI / Diffusion imaging
• Positron emission tomography with CT

Estrogen challenge to predict resistance to hormone therapy
• Baseline FDG-PET• Repeated after 3 x 10 mg
doses of estradiol q 8-10h• If increase in FDG uptake
< 12% after estradiol administration, this was predictive of hormone therapy failure
Dehdashti F et al., Breast Cancer Res Treat 2009; 113: 509-17
![Page 34: PET/CT Imaging and Cancer Response to Treatment Dr. François Bénard](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042718/5681551a550346895dc2fbee/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Role vs other predictors
• Tumor microarrays (DNA, RNA, microRNA) or IHC/FISH panels can provide information about expression of genes/proteins associated with resistance
• No « pattern » is entirely predictive• Combining genetic predictors with rapid imaging
assay of treatment failure could be a powerful way to identify resistance
• Rapidly select patients for phase II clinical trials or tissue banking
![Page 35: PET/CT Imaging and Cancer Response to Treatment Dr. François Bénard](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042718/5681551a550346895dc2fbee/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Increased Efflux
• P-glycoprotein substrates– [99mTc]-Sestamibi– [11C]-Verapamil– [11C]-carvedilol– [11C]N-Desmethyl-Loperamide– [11C]daunorubicin – 4-[18F]Fluoropaclitaxel
• Common problem: low tumour uptake / constrast
![Page 36: PET/CT Imaging and Cancer Response to Treatment Dr. François Bénard](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042718/5681551a550346895dc2fbee/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Chemotherapy influx
• Can chemotherapy response be predicted by tracers with similar uptake mechanisms?
• Cationic organic transporters
• Anionic transporters
• Other ions?

Conclusion
• PET/CT imaging offers unique new opportunities to predict or rapidly identify treatment resistance
• In vivo targeted imaging• Radiopharmaceuticals to predict chemotherapy
influx / efflux ?• Possible role for combining predictive
biomarkers (DNA/RNA microarrays) and early response imaging to identify resistance
