Comparison of [18F]DCFPyL and [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-HBED-CC for PSMA-PET Imaging in Patients with Relapsed Prostate Cancer

Integrated 68Ga-HBED-CC-PSMA-PET/MRI in patients with suspected recurrent prostate cancer.

AIM Evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of 68Ga-labeled HBED-CC-PSMA-PET/MRI for detection of recurrent PCa in comparison to PET/CT. METHODS 48 patients with suspected recurrent PCa underwent PET/CT after injection of the 68Ga-HBED-CC-PSMA ligand followed by integrated PET/MRI. Image analysis was performed by nuclear medicine physicians and radiologists with respect to the detection of lymph nod...

Direct comparison of 99mTc-PSMA SPECT/CT and 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT in patients with prostate cancer

Objective(s): 99mTc-PSMA SPECT/CT is a cost effective alternative for 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT. The aim of this study was to directly compare these two techniques in patients with prostate cancer. Methods: 28 man with prostate cancer were studied using 99mTc-PSMA SPECT/CT and 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT in a shor...

Novel Preclinical and Radiopharmaceutical Aspects of [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-HBED-CC: A New PET Tracer for Imaging of Prostate Cancer

The detection of prostate cancer lesions by PET imaging of the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) has gained highest clinical impact during the last years. 68Ga-labelled Glu-urea-Lys(Ahx)-HBED-CC ([68Ga]Ga-PSMA-HBED-CC) represents a successful novel PSMA inhibitor radiotracer which has recently demonstrated its suitability in individual first-in-man studies. The radiometal chelator HBED-...

PSMA PET in Prostate Cancer.

Imaging of Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen Expression in Metastatic Differentiated Thyroid Cancer Using 68Ga-HBED-CC-PSMA PET/CT.

PURPOSE The prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) was shown to be overexpressed on the neovasculature of several malignancies. Here, the role of Ga-HBED-CC-PSMA PET/CT for the detection of PSMA expression in patients with metastasized differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) was evaluated. METHODS Six patients with iodine-negative and F-FDG-positive metastasized DTC (mean TG, 1616 ng/mL) recei...
