A review of PSMA-based radiopharmaceuticals for diagnosis and therapy of prostate cancer
摘要
During the last decade, diagnosis and therapy of prostate cancer have been accomplished with clear evidence of enhanced survival. Improved diagnostic capabilities, particularly radiolabeled PSMA PET/CT approaches benefit from reduced unnecessary biopsies and more accuracy. The advantage of visualization of the abnormalities prior to therapeutic procedures is clarifying these locations specifically in order to targeting therapy applying the theranostic principle. Targeted therapy with high efficacy and minimal damage has emerged as very promising advancement in nuclear medicine. Recently, radiolabeled PSMA-617 and other derivatives have shown considerable improvements in the management of advanced-stage PSMA–positive mCRPC. This manuscript attempts to summarize the most recent advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer in nuclear medicine.
