Abstract:
Ga-68 labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) is increasingly recognized as the best imaging modality for disease staging and detection of recurrent prostate cancer. Despite its name, PSMA expression has been reported in the neovasculature of several nonprostatic benign and malignant pathologies. Docetaxel, a taxane antineoplastic agent, is the mainstay of treatment in castration-resistant prostate cancer and high-volume hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. Although the occurrence of docetaxel-related interstitial lung disease is rare, it may lead to respiratory failure if treatment is delayed. We present a case of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, wherein docetaxel-induced interstitial pneumonitis was detected on Ga-68 PSMA PET/CT after docetaxel administration.
