To assess the ability of the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) at PSMA PET/CT to predict adverse pathology at radical prostatectomy (RP). METHODS: Within a high-volume center database, we identified intermediate and high risk PCa patients who had a PSMA PET/CT with an available SUVmax inside the prostate prior to RP between 2016 and 2021. Logistic regression modeling was used to test for the ability of SUVmax to predict non-organ confined disease or adverse pathology (non-organ confined and/or Gleason ≥4+3) during RP. Kaplan-Meier analyses were used to compare biochemical recurrence (BCR)-free survival after RP stratified according to SUVmax. RESULTS: Overall, 544 patients were identified. Of those, median SUVmax in the prostate was 9.5 at PSMA PET/CT. Median PSA was 8.1 ng/ml prior RP. 50.7% vs. 49.3% of the patients had D'Amico intermediate and high-risk characteristics. Median follow-up was 24.6 months. BCR-free survival at 48 months after RP was 72.1% vs. 62.2% (p=0.03) for patients with SUVmax<9.5 vs. SUVmax ≥9.5 at PSMA PET. In logistic regression models, SUVmax (continuously coded and stratified in <9.5 vs. ≥9.5) represented an independent predictor for non-organ confined disease and adverse pathology. CONCLUSIONS: SUVmax ≥9.5 at PSMA PET/CT is an independent predictor of adverse pathology at RP. Moreover, it is associated with worse BCR-free survival after RP.
