The goal of the current study was to correlate hyperpolarized lactate with the pathologic grade of prostate cancer using living human prostate tissue slices (TSCs) obtained at surgery in a MR compatible 3D tissue culture bioreactor. TSCs obtained from 38 radical prostatectomy patients were studied after injection of hyperpolarized pyruvate and demonstrated that in addition to increased lactate production, high grade prostate cancer had significantly higher lactate efflux. Knowledge of significant extracellular HP lactate in aggressive prostate cancer will be useful for improving interpretation of the in vivo HP signals and interrogated using diffusion weighted HP 13 C MR approaches.
