Question

  1. What is the clinical utility of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging using prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) labelled with gallium-68 (Ga-68) or fluorine-18 (F-18) in patients with suspected or confirmed metastatic or biochemically recurrent prostate cancer?

Key Message

Four systematic reviews (one with a meta-analysis), one randomized controlled trial, and 30 non-randomized studies were identified regarding the clinical utility of positron emission tomography imaging using prostate-specific membrane antigen labelled with gallium-68 or fluorine-18 in patients with suspected or confirmed metastatic or biochemically recurrent prostate cancer.
