Abstract
In the setting of prostate cancer (PCa), many different imaging modalities are avail-able to correctly assess staging, restaging, treatment response and radio-ligand therapy recruitment. The introduction of fluoride or gallium-labelled prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) made a revolution in PCa management, also due to its possible theragnostic use. Nowadays PSMA-PET/CT is a fundamental tool for staging and restaging PCa. This review discusses the latest findings in PSMA imaging in PCa patients and the impact of PSMA imaging on the patients' management in primary staging, biochemical recurrence and in advanced prostate cancer, always keeping in mind the important theragnostic role of PSMA. This review tries also to assess the current role of other radiopharmaceuticals as Choline, FACBC or other radiotracers like gastrin-releasing peptide receptor targeting tracers and FAPI in different PCa settings.Semin Nucl Med 54:150-162 (c) 2023 Elsevier Inc.
