Zusammenfassung
PET und PET/CT erweitern die Möglichkeiten der deskriptiven bildgebenden Diagnostik um die neue Dimension der metabolischen bzw. molekularen Aktivität von Tumoren. Hierdurch sind erheblich genauere Aussagen zur Tumorausdehnung, insbesondere beim Staging und in der Rezidivdiagnostik von Malignomen, möglich. Genauer als bisher können so Patientengruppen mit potenziell heilbarer Tumorerkrankung durch loko-regionale Maßnahmen (Chirurgie/Radiotherapie, letztere auch in Kombination mit Chemotherapie) definiert und von jenen unterschieden werden, bei denen allein palliative Maßnahmen sinnvoll sind. Moderne nuklearmedizinische Verfahren öffnen durch den Einsatz spezifischer Radiotracer die Tür zur „molekularen” Tumorbehandlung. Die Radioonkologie wird davon in besonderem Maße profitieren, indem in Zukunft spezifische Tumorareale (hypoxische Bereiche, lokale Tumorstammzellkonzentrationen, Tumorbereiche mit gesteigerter Proliferation u. a.) innerhalb eines morphologisch homogenen Tumors weiter abgegrenzt werden können. Die Intensitätsmodulierte Strahlentherapie (IMRT) bietet heute schon die Möglichkeit, diese definierten Areale innerhalb des Planungsvolumens (PTV) mit einer höheren Dosis zu bestrahlen, ohne die Dosisgrenzen außerhalb des Organs zu überschreiten.
Abstract
PET and PET/CT enlarge the possibilities of purely anatomic imaging by opening up new horizons in determining the metabolic and molecular properties of tumors. This enables to determine the spread of tumors with higher accuracy, especially concerning the primary staging and the diagnosis of recurrences. Patients with locoregional disease which are curable by surgery or local radiotherapy (eventually in combination with chemotherapy) can be differentiated from those patients, where only palliative treatment is indicated. Novel nuclear medicine procedures, which use specific tracers, open the door for the molecular treatment of tumors. This will be especially important for radiation oncology. In future it will be possible to define specific tumor areas within a morphologically homogeneous tumor (e. g. areas of tumor hypoxia, increased local tumor stem cell concentration, tumor parts with higher proliferative activity etc.). With IMRT (intensity modulated radiotherapy) we have already now the opportunity, to concentrate the dose to these specific tumor areas, without overloading normal tissues and organs at risk.
