- Enlarged pelvic lymph nodes (greater than 1 cm in the short axis) visible on CT or MRI images, or
- Greater than 15% risk of lymph node involvement calculated using the equation: Risk of positive nodes (%) = (2/3) prostate specific antigen (PSA) + [(Gleason score - 6)] × 10]. This formula is used to estimate the pathologic stage of prostate cancer with preoperative prostate specific antigen (PSA) and Gleason score, and adopted by many radiation oncology clinics, including our own radiation oncology physicians.

About this study
Official title: Practice Procedure for 99mTc-Sulfur Nanocolloid Lymphatic Drainage Mapping in Prostate Cancer Using SPECT-CT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography / Computed Tomography)
The purpose of this study is to develop a practice procedure for lymphatic drainage mapping with the intent of providing a new tool that could potentially be used for radiation treatment planning. High-risk prostate cancer patients who are scheduled to be treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) may be eligible to enroll in this study. 99mTc-sulfur nanocolloid, a radiopharmaceutical ("tracer") will be injected by a urologist using transrectal ultrasound guidance (TRUS)at the UCSF Urology Clinic. Participants will then undergo SPECT/CT imaging at the UCSF Nuclear Medicine Clinic. This study will evaluate the feasibility of transporting patients to the Nuclear Medicine Clinic for imaging within 1-3 hours after administration of 99mTc-sulfur nanocolloid.
Read the detailed description
The entire study procedure involves 1) preparation of 99mTc-sulfur nanocolloid, 2) administration of 99mTc-sulfur nanocolloid with transrectal ultrasound guidance, 3) transfer of the patient to the Nuclear Medicine clinic for SPECT/CT (Infinia Hawkeye, GE Healthcare) imaging, and 4) tomographically capturing distributions of 99mTc-sulfur nanocolloid uptake in the patient's lymphatic drainage sites within a practical image acquisition time (1-3 h postinjection) considering the patient transit time between injection and imaging.
Administration of 99mTc-sulfur nanocolloid will be performed at the UCSF Urology clinic. The injection will be performed following the clinically accepted method that has been described by European investigators. 99mTc-sulfur nanocolloid imaging utilizes trace amounts of radioactivity. 100-200 MBq (2.7-5.4 mCi) of 99mTc-sulfur nanocolloid will be administered into two lobes of the prostate gland under transrectal ultrasound guidance with three fractions each into peripheral and central zone of the prostatic apex, mid portion, and base. 1% Lidocaine may be administered for local anesthesia per routine clinical protocol as deemed appropriate by the performing urologist.
The procedure will be considered feasible if the practice procedure (from injection to completion of imaging) is successfully implemented within 3 hours of injection (including patient transport time). Imaging will be considered successful if radiotracer is qualitatively detected within the prostate and local lymphatic system.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants Successfully Completed 99mTc-sulfur Nanocolloid SPECT/CT Within 3 Hours After Injection
Successful completion of 99mTc-sulfur nanocolloid SPECT/CT means that the images were obtained within 3 hours, and the images showed patients' lymphatic drainage.
Measured: 1 day
Secondary outcomes (1)
Percentage of Images With Detectable Sentinel Lymph Nodes (LNs) From 99mTc-sulfur Nanocolloid SPECT/CT Scans
There was only one arm for this study. All participants who had prostate cancer received 99mTc-sulfur nanocolloid injection and imaged by SPECT/CT within 3 hours of injection. The imaging studies qualitatively detected radiotracer distribution within the prostate and local lymphatic system. The detection of the radiotracer distribution was performed by experienced attending nuclear medicine physicians at UCSF. The qualitative detection includes visual lymph node uptake seen by SPECT scans overlaid on coregistered CT scans.
Measured: 1 day
