ABSTRACT

Purpose: Prediction of treatment response to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) prior to treatment initiation remains difficult. This study was undertaken to investigate whether 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT features extracted from different radiomic zones within the prostate gland might predict response to ADT in patients with advanced prostate cancer (PCa). Methods: A total of 35 patients with prostate adenocarcinoma underwent two 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT scans­termed PET-1 and PET-2­before and after 3 months of ADT, respectively. The prostate was divided into three radiomic zones, with zone-1 being the metabolic tumor zone, zone-2 the proximal peripheral tumor zone, and zone-3 the extended peripheral tumor zone. Patients in the response group were those who showed a reduction ratio > 30% for PET-derived parameters measured at PET-1 and PET-2. The remaining patients were classified as non-responders. Results: Seven features (glcm_idmn, glcm_idn, glcm_imc1, ngtdm_Contrast, glrlm_rln, gldm_dn, and shape_MeshVolume) from zone-1, two features (gldm_sdlgle and shape_MinorAxisLength) from zone-2, and two features (diagnostics_Mask-interpolated_Minimum and shape_Sphericity) from zone-3 successfully distinguished responders from non-responders to ADT. One predictive feature (shape_SurfaceVolumeRatio) was consistently identified in all of the three zones. Conclusions: this study demonstrates the potential usefulness of radiomic features extracted from different prostatic zones in distinguishing responders from non-responders prior to ADT initiation.
