A significant positive correlation has been observed between ketone body availability and their uptake by tumor cells. Our objective was to evaluate 11Cacetoacetate as a potential tracer of ketone body utilization by breast and prostate tumors and to compare it with 11Cacetate.Biodistribution studies were performed with 11Cacetoacetate and 11Cacetate in mice bearing breast or prostate tumors. The percentage of the injected dose accumulated per gram of tissue was determined. These results were complemented by dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of the radiotracer uptake and dosimetry calculations.11CAcetoacetate uptake was optimal between 5 and 30 min, with maximal uptake of 2.72, 2.42, 2.54, and 2.19\% injected dose (\%ID)/g for MC7-L1, MC4-L2, PC3, and LN-CaP tumors respectively. Tumor retention for 11Cacetoacetate tended to be higher than 11Cacetate, but this did not reach statistical significance. 11CAcetate uptake was reached within 15 min with optimal uptake of 1.25, 2.30, and 0.96\%ID/g for MC7-L1, MC4-L2, and PC-3 tumors, respectively.We observed a moderate uptake of 11Cacetoacetate in breast and prostate tumors with low background activity due to rapid elimination of this tracer. Further studies are warranted to determine if this tracer can detect slow-growing breast and prostate cancers in the clinical setting.
