Presented at the 2017 American Society for Clinical Oncology Gastroenterology in San Francisco - January 21st 2017
Background: ASCC remains rare, but the incidence has been increasing over the last decade, especially in patients with HIV infection (HIV+). A recent meta-analysis demonstrated the usefulness of 18FDG-PET in initial staging and response assessment in ASCC. HIV+ patients may develop opportunistic infections which can cause false positives lymph nodes on Pet scanning and, therefore, our objective was to evaluate performance of 18FDG-PET in HIV+ patients.
Patients and Methods: Retrospective analysis of consecutive patients with non-metastatic ASCC, treated in our institution during six years. HIV+ patients were analyzed separately in two groups, group 1 (Gr1): N0, group 2 (Gr2): N1,N2,N3.
Results: A total of 87 patients with ASCC were analyzed, including 24 HIV+ patients (21 males, median age was 53 for male and 50 for women). There were 15 patients in Gr1 and 9 in Gr2. All patients performed conventional imaging (MRI and CT-scan). In Gr1, 12/15 patients had FDG-PET, it resulted in upstaging nodal disease in 2 patients. In Gr 2, 6/9 patients had FDG-PET, it resulted in upstaging nodal disease in 1 patient and
down staging nodal disease in 2 patients. Both of sensibility and specificity of FDG-PET were 83% in our HIV+ population. All patients underwent Mitomycine C/5FU based chemoradiation or exclusive radiation therapy. Mean radiation dose received was 63.3Gy in G1 and 63.9Gy in G2. 18FDG-PET drive a modification in treatment strategy in only 1 patient in both of groups. Post-treatment PET scan was performed 4 months after treatment completion. Among patients who had post-treatment 18FDG-PET, a metabolic complete response was observed in 6/11 patients in Gr 1 and 3/5 patients in Gr 2. Survival at 5 years was 89% and 75% in Gr1 and Gr2, respectively.
Conclusion: Based on our experience, 18FDG-PET nether drives substantial changes in staging nor in therapeutic strategy for ASCC HIV+ patients.

ABSTRACT
Background
:
ASCC
remains
rare,
but
the
incidence
has
been
increasing
over
the
last
decade,
especially
in
paPents
with
HIV
infecPon
(HIV+).
A
recent
meta-‐analysis
demonstrated
the
usefulness
of
18FDG-‐PET
in
iniPal
staging
and
response
assessment
in
ASCC.
HIV+
paPents
may
develop
opportunisPc
infecPons
which
can
cause
false
posiPves
lymph
nodes
on
PET
scanning
and,
therefore,
our
objecPve
was
to
evaluate
performance
of
18FDG-‐PET
in
HIV+
paPents.
Methods
:
RetrospecPve
analysis
of
consecuPve
paPents
with
non-‐
metastaPc
ASCC,
treated
in
our
insPtuPon
during
six
years.
HIV+
paPents
were
analyzed
separately
in
two
groups
according
to
their
lymph
nodes
status,
group
1
(Gr
1):
N0,
group
2
(Gr
2):
N1,
N2,
N3.
Results
:
A
total
of
87
paPents
with
ASCC
were
analyzed,
including
24
HIV+
paPents
(21
males,
median
age
was
53
for
male
and
50
for
women).
There
were
15
paPents
in
Gr
1
and
9
in
Gr
2.
All
paPents
performed
convenPonal
imaging
(MRI
and
CT-‐scan).
In
Gr
1,
12/15
paPents
had
18FDG-‐PET,
it
resulted
in
upstaging
nodal
disease
in
2
paPents.
In
Gr
2,
6/9
paPents
had
18FDG-‐PET,
it
resulted
in
upstaging
nodal
disease
in
1
paPent
and
downstaging
nodal
disease
in
2
paPents.
Both
of
sensibility
and
specificity
of
FDG-‐PET
were
83%
in
our
HIV+
populaPon.
All
paPents
underwent
Mitomycine
C
and
5FU
based
chemoradiaPon
or
exclusive
radiaPon
therapy.
Mean
radiaPon
dose
received
was
63.3Gy
in
G1
and
63.9Gy
in
G2.
18FDG-‐PET
drives
a
modificaPon
in
treatment
strategy
in
only
1
paPent
in
both
of
groups.
Post-‐treatment
18FDG-‐PET
was
performed
4
months
aber
treatment
complePon.
Among
paPents
who
had
post-‐treatment
18FDG-‐PET,
a
metabolic
complete
response
was
observed
in
6/11
paPents
in
Gr
1
and
3/5
paPents
in
Gr
2.
Survival
at
5
years
was
89%
and
75%
in
Gr
1
and
Gr
2,
respecPvely.
Conclusion
:
Based
on
our
experience,
18FDG-‐PET
drives
substanPal
changes
neither
in
staging
nor
in
therapeuPc
strategy
for
ASCC
HIV+
paPents,
however,
it
may
be
useful
for
radiaPon
therapy
planning.
