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.
			presence of occult retroperitoneal disease.
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.
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.
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).
- Patient must be able to lie still for a 20 to 30 minute PET/CT scan. Patients will be
asked if they have problems or issues with lying flat
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
