Article Synopsis
- - The study compares the effectiveness of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET scans and multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) in identifying lymph node metastasis (LNM) in prostate cancer, focusing on existing research up to August 2024.
- - Results from 23 articles involving 3,041 patients reveal that PSMA PET has higher sensitivity (74%) compared to mpMRI (45%) for detecting LNM, while both methods show similar specificity (96% for PSMA PET and 92% for mpMRI).
- - The conclusion indicates that PSMA PET is more effective for initial cancer staging, but no significant difference in specificity exists between the two methods, suggesting the need for further research to refine imaging
