Usefulness of Tc-99m Sestamibi studies for monitoring response to therapy in patients with high grade gliomas: a preliminary study
Résumé
Early and late Sestamibi studies were acquired in addition to conventional MRI protocol in 14 patients with high-grade gliomas to monitor an antiangiogenic treatment. Global and local indices were deduced from these SPECT studies and were compared with progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Variations of intensity in late studies were not correlated with PFS, but were related to OS. This suggests the possible role of Sestamibi for monitoring response to treatment.
