ACRIN 6665/RTOG 0132 phase II trial of neoadjuvant imatinib mesylate for operable malignant gastrointestinal stromal tumor: monitoring with 18F-FDG PET and correlation with genotype and GLUT4 expression.

ABSTRACT:

Unlabelled

We investigated the correlation between metabolic response by (18)F-FDG PET and objective response, glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) expression, and KIT/PDGFRA mutation status in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor undergoing neoadjuvant imatinib mesylate therapy.

Methods

(18)F-FDG PET was performed at baseline, 1-7 d, and 4 or 8 wk after imatinib mesylate initiation. Best objective response was defined by version 1.0 of the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). Mutational analysis and tumor GLUT4 expression by immunohistochemistry were done on tissue obtained at baseline or surgery.

Results

(18)F-FDG PET showed high baseline tumor glycolytic activity (mean SUV(max), 14.2; range, 1.3-53.2), decreasing after 1 wk of imatinib mesyl
