  • Title: A Rare Case of Omentum Invasive Prostate Cancer: Staging With PSMA PET/CT Imaging and Response to Systemic Therapy.
    Author: Ladwa R, Gustafson S, McCaffrey E, Miles K, O'Byrne K.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 2017 Jun; 42(6):e311-e312. PubMed ID: 28240670.
    Abstract:
    The omentum is a rare metastatic site for prostatic adenocarcinoma. We present a case of metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer, with progressive omentum invasive prostate cancer identified on prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT scan. Omental biopsy revealed metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma, and cabazitaxel chemotherapy was instituted with a prostate-specific antigen biochemical response. Repeat PSMA PET/CT imaging revealed increased avidity in omental metastasis. Despite prostate-specific antigen response, PSMA PET/CT did not correlate with a therapeutic response.
