Abstract

In prostate cancer, the bone is the most common site of metastasis, and it is essential to evaluate metastatic bone lesions to assess the tumor burden and treatment response. Castration-resistant prostate cancer refers to the state wherein the cancer continues to progress despite a significant reduction of the sex hormone level and is associated with frequent distant metastasis. The Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3) released guidelines that aimed to standardize the assessment of treatment effects in castration-resistant prostate cancer using bone scintigraphy. However, these guidelines can be challenging to comprehend and implement in practical settings. The purpose of this review was to provide an overview of a specific image acquisition method and treatment response assessment for bone scintigraphy-based evaluation of bone lesions in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, in accordance with the PCWG3 guidelines.

전립선암에서 뼈는 가장 흔한 전이병소이며, 전립선암의 질병 상태를 파악하고 치료 반응을 평가하기 위해서는 전이성 골병변의 평가가 필수적이다. 거세 저항성 전립선암은 남성호르몬을 거세 수치로 떨어뜨렸음에도 불구하고 암이 진행하는 상태를 의미하며, 이 상태에서는 원격 전이가 빈번하게 발생한다. 거세 저항성 전립선암의 치료 반응을 객관적으로 평가하기 위해 뼈스캔을 기반으로 한 Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (이하 PCWG3) 가이드라인이 발표되었으나 실제 이를 쉽게 숙지하여 적용하기에는 어려운 점이 있다. 본 종설에서 PCWG3 가이드라인에 준한 거세 저항성 전립선암의 뼈스캔 기반 골병변 반응 평가를 위한 구체적인 영상 획득 방법 및 치료 반응 평가법을 소개하고자 한다.
