Pathological uptake with 18-Fluorocholine versus 99mTc-MIBI in the location of the parathyroid glands in hyperparathyroidism. Systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract

Introduction: The location of the pathological parathyroid glands in hyperparathyroidism is usually carried out by means of 99mTc-sestamibi scintigraphy, which increases its precision by adding the ultrasound examination. The non-localization of the parathyroid glands increases the difficulties for surgical removal. To increase the detection of pathological glands, other radioactive tracers are used, such as methionine, fluorocholine or 18F-flurpiridaz. Objective: To establish if PET / CT with 18-Fluorocholine in patients with hyperparathyroidism increases the number of uptakes compared to the 99mTc-sestamibi scan. Method: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Two subgroups were analyzed. Subgroup 1: trials comparing both techniques as an initial exploration. Thirteen studies including 1131 examinations were selected (596 PET / CT with 18-Fluorocholine vs. 535 scintigraphy with 99mTc-sestamibi). Meta-analysis was performed following the random effects model and the odds ratio was calculated. Subgroup 2: studies that include 18-Fluorocholine as a rescue examination in patients with a previous negative study with a 99mTc-sestamibi scan. 17 articles including 412 examinations with 359 patients in which there was at least one uptake were selected. Meta-analysis of the prevalence of the number of patients in whom there was at least one uptake was performed using the random effects model. Results: Subgroup 1: The number of patients in which at least one uptake occurs is significantly higher with the 18-Fluorocholine examinations (OR 4.264, 95% CI 2.400-7.577). The prevalence of uptake with 18-Fluorocholine is 0.91 [0.86, 0.95] and with sestamibi 0.68 [0.56, 0.80]. Subgroup 2: the prevalence of uptake among patients with previous negative MIBI studies was 0.90 [0.87, 0.94]. The probability of detection of both techniques in this group reaches 0.98. Publication bias in the meta-analyzes is low. Discussion: 18-Fluorocholine protocols provide higher precision, clearer images, with faster acquisition as well as being readily available for most PET / CT centers. Conclusion: The PET / CT study with 18-Fluorocholine can be recommended as a study for the location of pathological parathyroid glands after studies with negative MIBI.
