68Ga-PSMA PET/CT for primary diagnosis of prostate cancer in men with contraindications to or negative mpMRI: A prospective observational study

The Journal of Urology Feb 18, 2018

Lopci E, et al. - The aim of this trial was to evaluate the use of 68Ga-(PSMA) prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography / computed tomography (PET/CT) for the identification and risk stratification of prostate cancer (PCa) in patients with contraindications to or negative multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI). As revealed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, the SUVmax (maximum standardized uptake value) and SUVratio (tumor SUVmax/background SUVmax) of Gleason score (GS) 7 lesions and GS 6 lesions could discriminate clinically-relevant prostate cancer (PCa) with an overall sensitivity of 100% in both cases and a specificity of 76% and 88%, respectively. Hence, 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT was shown to be useful for primary detection of PCa in a specific subset of men.
