Diagnostic Performance of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT in Suspected Prostate Cancer Patient

Multicenter Evaluation of Diagnostic Performance of [18F]FPSMA-1007 PET/CT in Patients With Suspected Prostate Cancer

The diagnostic tools for detecting patients with early prostate cancer are limited due to poor diagnostic performance. The positron emission tomography (PET) combination with the diagnostic radiopharmacy is a non-invasive tool to provide the molecular imaging of the whole body and offer more comprehensive physiological information and then can raise the diagnostic performance. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeting pharmaceuticals have been regarded as the most promising diagnostic tool to diagnose patients with prostate cancer. Currently, the 18F-PSMA-1007 as PSMA-targeting 18F-radiolabeled pharmaceuticals have developed and successfully used in patients with intermittent- and high-risk prostate cancer or recurrent prostate cancer. The study aims to understand the diagnostic performance of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT in different-stage prostate cancer patients by initiating the first multicenter clinical trial of 18F-PSMA-1007 in Taiwan.
