- Abstract: 【Objective】 To explore the value of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT in evaluating the primary tumor and infiltration range of prostate cancer. 【Methods】 We retrospectively collected 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT whole body imaging data of the patients who came to the Department of Urology， The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University， from March 2019 to June 2021 due to suspected or diagnosed prostate cancer. No treatment was give before the examination. In addition， 51 patients underwent radical surgery after examination and obtained complete pathological results. We used a semi-automatic method to delineate the region of interest （ROI） of 40% SUVmax of prostate cancer foci， and obtained the metabolic parameters， namely， SUVmax， SUVmean， tumor metabolic volume （MTV） and total lesion metabolic （TLM）. We also observed for infiltration of bilateral seminal vesicle glands and bladder. Correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation of metabolic parameters with Gleason score and tumor grade grouping； McNemar test was used to analyze the accuracy of PSMA in evaluating the extent of prostate invasion. 【Results】 The PET/CT parameters SUVmax， SUVmean， TLM and Gleason score were not significantly correlated， but SUVmean was positively correlated with tumor grade （r=0.306， P=0.041）. The pathological results showed a moderate correlation between the maximum diameter of the tumor and MTV （r=0.479， P=0.003）. The sensitivity evaluated by PSMA-PET/CT to primary prostate tumor， capsule invasion， seminal vesicle gland invasion， and bladder invasion was 72.00%， 64.71%， 83.33%， and 25.00%， respectively； the specificity was 88.46%， 33.33%， 84.61%， and 95.74%， respectively； the accuracy was 80.39%， 52.94%， 86.27%， and 90.19%， respectively. 【Conclusion】 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT imaging has high accuracy in assessing primary tumor and the extent of invasion of prostate cancer， which indicates its value in clinical application.
