- Abstract
- This study aimed to assess the prognostic value of computed tomography (CT)-attenuation and F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake of periprostatic adipose tissue (PPAT) for predicting disease progression-free survival (DPFS) in patients with prostate cancer. Seventy-seven patients with prostate cancer who underwent staging FDG positron emission tomography (PET)/CT were retrospectively reviewed. CT-attenuation (HU) and FDG uptake (SUV) of PPAT were measured from the PET/CT images. The relationships between these PPAT parameters and clinical factors were assessed, and a Cox proportional hazard regression test was performed to evaluate the prognostic significance of PPAT HU and SUV. PPAT HU and SUV showed significant positive correlations with tumor stage and serum prostate-specific antigen level (PSA) (p < 0.05). Patients with high PPAT HU and SUV had significantly worse DPFS than those with low PPAT HU and SUV (p < 0.05). In multivariate analysis, PPAT SUV was a significant predictor of DPFS after adjusting for tumor stage, serum PSA, and tumor SUV (p = 0.003; hazard ratio, 1.50; 95% confidence interval, 1.15-1.96). CT-attenuation and FDG uptake of PPAT showed significant association with disease progression in patients with prostate cancer. These imaging findings may be evidence of the role of PPAT in prostate cancer progression.
