68Ga–Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen: A Potential Radiopharmaceutical in PET/CT To detect primary Cholangiocarcinoma
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
68Ga Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is an increasingly popular radiopharmaceutical tracer in prostate cancer and is becoming increasingly researched in other cancers such as breast cancer, renal cell carcinoma, glioblastoma multiforme, among others. Cholangiocarcinoma is the second most common primary hepatic malignant tumor; it is an aggressive tumor with a 5-year survival rate of less than 5 %. We herein report a case of primary cholangiocarcinoma detected on 68Ga-PSMA PET-CT conducted as part of follow up for prostate cancer and confirmed by biopsy and immunohistochemistry.

Prostate Specific Antigen Level in Exposure to Sulfur Mustard
Background: Oxidants and inflammation agents are predisposing factors for the development of prostate cancer. As a chemical warfare, sulfur mustard (SM) can cause cancer through various pathways mainly increased production of oxidants and inflammation. Due to high incidence of cancer in SM victims, concentration of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in SM victims was evaluated and compared with th...
متن کاملVirus-polymer hybrid nanowires tailored to detect prostate-specific membrane antigen.
We demonstrate the de novo fabrication of a biosensor, based upon virus-containing poly(3,4-ethylene-dioxythiophene) (PEDOT) nanowires, that detects prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). This development process occurs in three phases: (1) isolation of a M13 virus with a displayed polypeptide receptor, from a library of ≈10(11) phage-displayed peptides, which binds PSMA with high affinity ...
متن کاملExpression of Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) in Brain Glioma and its Correlation with Tumor Grade
Background & Objective Angiogenesis is an essential component of tumor growth. Expression of PSMA on the neo-vasculature of many solid tumors, including glioblastoma multi-form, has been determined. The pattern of expression suggests that PSMA may play a functional role in angiogenesis. Methods: expression of PSMA in dif...
متن کاملNoninvasive measurement of androgen receptor signaling with a positron-emitting radiopharmaceutical that targets prostate-specific membrane antigen.
Despite encouraging clinical results with next generation drugs (MDV3100 and abiraterone) that inhibit androgen receptor (AR) signaling in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), responses are variable and short-lived. There is an urgent need to understand the basis of resistance to optimize their future use. We reasoned that a radiopharmaceutical that measures intratumoral c...
متن کاملAge Specific Reference Levels of Serum Prostate-Specific Antigen, Prostate Volume and Prostate Specific Antigen Density in Healthy Iranian Men
Background: It is relevant to highlight that there is not a precise and perfect report on either 95 percentile value (upper limit of normal range) or on appropriate reference intervals for serum PSA in Iranian population. Objective: To determine age-specific reference ranges for serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) concentration and PSA density (PSAD) and prostate volumes in a population of he...
متن کاملProstate-specific membrane antigen expression is a potential prognostic marker in endometrial adenocarcinoma.
The aim of this study was to determine the role of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) as a prognostic marker in endometrial adenocarcinoma (EAC) and to explore whether its down-regulation could be due to epigenetic mechanism. First, we examined the expression and the prognostic value of PSMA by semiquantitative reverse transcription-PCR and immunohistochemistry in EAC tissue samples. Sec...
