Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed 38 men with biochemical recurrence (BCR) of prostate cancer, using a specialized PET/CT imaging technique to track prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) with zirconium-89 radiotracers after prior negative scans.* -
- The results showed that the new imaging method detected a total of 57 lesions, including local recurrences and metastases, in 78% of patients, with significant improvement in tumor visibility over time.* -
- The study concludes that zirconium-89 PSMA PET/CT is effective for identifying early BCR and suggests that the imaging technique outperforms conventional methods, with no noted side effects and a decrease in prostate-specific antigen levels in treated patients.*
Background: The state-of-the-art method for imaging men with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer (BCR) is prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with tracers containing short-lived radionuclides, e.g., gallium-68 (Ga; half-life: ∼67.
