Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT has become increasingly accepted for imaging prostate cancer (PCa), including its recent use in primary staging. In this case report, we present the case of a 76-year-old man with newly diagnosed PCa. 18 F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT showed minimal PSMA activity in the primary tumor and metastases. However, 18 F-FAPI-04 PET/CT revealed more avid lesions in primary tumor, metastatic lymph nodes, and bones. Subsequent histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of PCa. These findings suggest that 18 F-FAPI-04 may have a potential role in the evaluation of PCa with low PSMA expression in treatment-naive patients.

Background: Prostate cancer remains the most frequent cancer among men, representing a significant health burden. Despite its high morbidity and mortality rates, the etiology of prostate cancer remains relatively unknown, with only non-modifiable established risk factors. Chronic inflammation has emerged as a potential factor in prostate carcinogenesis.

Precise surgical resection of prostate cancer (PCa) is a significant clinical challenge due to the impact of positive surgical margins on postoperative outcomes. Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) enables real-time tumor visualization using fluorescent probes. In this study, we synthesized and evaluated an indocyanine green (ICG)-based PSMA-targeted near-infrared probe, , for intraoperative imaging of PCa lesions.

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men, accounting for 14.1% of new cancer cases in 2020. The aggressiveness of prostate cancer is highly variable, depending on its grade and stage at the time of diagnosis.
