Brief Summary:
This is a pilot prospective longitudinal monocentric, non-comparative, nonrandomised, and non-controlled open study.
is to test whether the intensity of 82-Rb uptake on PET acquisitions is associated to the aggressiveness of RCC on histology (ISUP grades), i.e., to successfully identify high-grade (ISUP grades 3 and 4) vs. lowgrade (ISUP grades 1 and 2) RCC.
Detailed Description:
Tumoral vascularization is an important prognostic marker in renal cell carcinomas (RCC). The evaluation of RCC is often complex before surgery as only a small peripheral segment of the tumor is obtained with biopsy and tend to underestimate the aggressiveness and grade of RCC. Accurate noninvasive evaluation of the aggressiveness of RCC could improve the characterization of tumors before surgery and help guide patient management. Radiolabeled water has demonstrated its interest for the quantification of the vascularization of renal tumors in Positron Emission Tomography (PET). The synthesis of radiolabeled water requires, however, an on-site cyclotron, which is available only in a limited number of hospitals. 82-Rb, a potassium analog and positron-emitting radiotracer, is taken up by myocardial and renal cells. 82-Rb has been used for more than 15 years in North America for the quantification of myocardial perfusion with PET. The solution of 82-Rb chloride is obtained from 82-Sr / 82-Rb radiopharmaceutical generators which have recently obtained a marketing authorization in Europe. These generators can be installed in nuclear medicine departments in hospitals. Myocardial perfusion flow can be precisely quantified by modelling tissue uptake of the tracer on dynamic acquisitions obtained during the intravenous administration of 82-Rb chloride. Our hypothesis is that 82-Rb uptake profile could help grade noninvasively the aggressiveness of renal tumors.
