Aim: To assess whether clinical prostate cancer (PCA) related factors and therapy status can predict the degree of tracer uptake on [Ga-68] PSMA-HBED-CC PET/CT. Materials & methods: We retrospectively studied 124 patients with recurrent an/or metastatic PCA who underwent [Ga-68] PSMA-HBED-CC PET/CT. The maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) was determined in the prostate bed as well as in three size categories (<= 5 mm, > 5-15 mm, > 15 mm) in pelvic lymph node, extrapelvic lymph node, bone and visceral metastases. Results: Significant positive correlations between lesion size and SUVmax were found in pelvic lymph node metastases > 5 - <= 15 mm (Spearmans rho = 0.502, p = 0.002) as well as in extrapelvic lymph node metastases <= 5 mm (rho = 0.314, p = 0.033) and > 5 - <= 15 mm (rho = 0.614, p < 0.001). SUVmax tended to be higher in the largest diameter category in each anatomic station than in the middle and lower categories. We were unable to find evidence for a relationship between SUVmax and PSA, PSAdt, Gleason score, androgen deprivation therapy, radiation therapy or chemotherapy status. Conclusion: Measured tracer uptake in [Ga-68] PSMA-HBED-CC PET/CT in patients with recurrent/metastasized prostate cancer is significantly influenced by lesion size as a result of partial volume effects in the very small lesions. Clinical indicators of aggressive prostate cancer behaviour such as PSA levels, PSA doubling time or the Gleason score of the primary tumour, as well as the androgen deprivation therapy, radiation therapy or chemotherapy status are not related to measured tracer uptake.
