Abstract:
Prostate-specific membrane antigen-PET/computed tomography (PSMA-PET/CT) is the investigation of choice for imaging prostate cancer. Demonstrating high diagnostic accuracy, PSMA-PET/CT detects disease at very early stages of recurrence, where the chances of a definitive cure may be at their greatest. A number of PSMA-radioligands are in established clinical routine, and there are currently only limited data and no single tracer can clearly be advocated over the others at present. Further clinical trial data, comparing and contrasting radiotracers and reporting outcome-based data are necessary to further increase the implementation of this very promising imaging modality.
