68Ga-Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen Expression in Neurocysticercosis Lesions in a Patient With Prostate Carcinoma
Abstract:
Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligand is a well-known tracer used in prostate cancer. Nevertheless, there are reports of unusual Ga-PSMA uptake in variety of benign lesions. We report a case of prostate cancer in which Ga-PSMA PET/CT revealed tracer avidity in the enhancing walls of cystic lesions in the brain consistent with the features of neurocysticercosis. The uptake of Ga-PSMA in neurocysticercosis is not known and may be attributed to angiogenesis occurring at the periphery of these lesions.

What is Gene Expression?
Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.
Genetic Information Flows from DNA to RNA to Protein
A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is made up of nucleotides and proteins consist of amino...
