Possible Benefits of PET/CT in Bone Sarcoma Management • Staging: Detect metastatic disease at diagnosis • Detect local and distant relapses • Determine tumor responsiveness to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy
Bone Tumors and PET Patients and methods • Prospective analysis • Histology: Ewing’s Sarcoma Osteosarcoma • Stage: localized disease • Age <40 (All pts in protocol) • Study period: April 2010-Mar 2012

Bone Tumors and PET Preliminary Indications 1 – No differences in SUV1 between OS and EW 2 – Pre-op chemo greatly decreases the metabolic activity of OS and EW 3 – Pts with high SUV1 seem to have lower probability to achieve a good response 4 – SUV2 in this series do not correlate with response 5 – The correlation seems to be stronger in EW than in OS (different extracellular matrix, and reparative processes)
Bone Tumors and PET Further studies 1 – Explore the differences between OS and EW 2 – Investigate correlations with other prognostic factors (i.e. size, site, age, molecular markers, etc.) 3 – Correlations with disease free survival Final aim PET basal activity surrogate biomarker for tumor resistance To use PET to stratify patients and anticipate treatment modifications before surgery
