Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) imaging is characterized by superior accuracy compared to conventional imaging for identification of nodal and distant metastases in prostate cancer. The majority of international clinical guidelines recommend PSMA positron emission tomography/computed tomography for patients experiencing biochemical recurrence, even at low prostate-specific antigen values, to identify candidates for salvage therapies. However, its use in for primary staging is still not recommended.

Abstract

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) imaging is characterized by superior accuracy compared to conventional imaging for identification of nodal and distant metastases in prostate cancer. The majority of international clinical guidelines recommend PSMA positron emission tomography/computed tomography for patients experiencing biochemical recurrence, even at low prostate-specific antigen values, to identify candidates for salvage therapies. However, its use in for primary staging is still not recommended.
