Clinical Trial Summary

Assess the rate and degree of PSMA uptake in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma submitted to PET/MRI scans. The objective is to evaluate its value on diagnosis and staging of HCC.


Clinical Trial Description

PET/MR - PSMA have emerged as a new method and there are few studies about its role in the evaluation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The hypothesis in this study is that PET/MRI with PSMA might have an additional value in the assessment of hepatocellular carcinoma, contributing to the diagnosis of distant metastasis and to confirm the diagnosis in undetermined nodules by the standard exams (computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging). Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosed by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging and referred to a liver transplant or surgery by clinical decision wil be submitted to a whole-body PSMA-PET/MRI and will be included in this prospective unicentric study to be conducted at Instituto do Câncer do Estado de São Paulo (ICESP) and Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo (HC-FMUSP). All cases will be evaluated to determine the presence and degree of PSMA uptake on lesions considered as definitely HCCs by CT or MRI. The sensitivity of PSMA - PET/MR for the diagnosis of HCC will be calculated. The added value of PSMA - PET MR on systemic staging will be calculated by the number of lesions considered suspicious for malignancy that were not detected by conventional scans. ;
