Overview
To evaluate the potential usefulness of 68Ga/18F-PSMA/PSFA positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for the diagnosis of primary and metastatic lesions in various PSMA-related disease patients.
Description
Subjects with various PSMA-related disease patients underwent 68Ga/18F-PSMA/PSFA PET/CT either for an initial assessment or for recurrence detection. Lesions uptake was quantified by the maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and accuracy of 68Ga/18F-PSMA/PSFA PET/CT were calculated.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
\- (i) adult patients (aged 18 years or order); (ii) patients with suspected or new diagnosed or previously treated malignant tumors (supporting evidence may include MRI, CT, tumor markers and pathology report); (iii) patients who had scheduled PSMA PET/CT scan; (iv) patients who were able to provide informed consent (signed by participant, parent or legal representative) and assent according to the guidelines of the Clinical Research Ethics Committee.
Exclusion Criteria:
\- (i) patients with non-malignant lesions; (ii) patients with pregnancy; (iii) the inability or unwillingness of the research participant, parent or legal representative to provide written informed consent.
