Role of Axumin PET Scan in Germ Cell Tumor (TESTPET)

November 2, 2023 updated by: yair lotan, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center

Anti-1-amino-3-18F-flurocyclobutane-1-carboxylic Acid (Axumin) Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Prior to Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection for Testicular Cancer

Investigators will use Axumin PET/CT to help with the imaging modalities to determine the presence of occult retroperitoneal disease.

Conditions

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

Investigators aim to perform a prospective study of anti-18F-FACBC PET/CT in patients with NSGCT prior to RPLND, either in the primary setting or in the post-chemotherapy setting. We will correlate histopathologic outcomes from the RPLND specimen and clinical outcomes of recurrence during follow-up to identify the accuracy of anti-18F-FACBC PET/CT in these settings.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with histologically confirmed NSGCT after orchiectomy who are scheduled to undergo primary RPLND or post-chemotherapy RPLND
  • Patients must be over 18 years old and capable and willing to provide informed consent.
  • Medically stable as judged by patient's physician.
  • Life expectancy must be estimated at > 6 months.
  • Patients must have an ECOG performance status of 0-3 (restricted to ECOG PS 0-2 if age >70 years).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with known allergic or hypersensitivity reactions to previously administered radiopharmaceuticals of similar chemical or biologic composition to anti-18F-FACBC are NOT eligible.
  • Patients with liver failure are NOT eligible.
  • Patients currently undergoing chemotherapy or chemotherapy within two weeks of anti-18F-FACBC PET/CT scan are NOT eligible
