Recent advances in the fundamental understanding of the complex biology of prostate cancer have provided an increasing number of potential targets for imaging and treatment. The imaging evaluation of prostate cancer needs to be tailored to the various phases of this remarkably heterogeneous disease.
In this article, I review the current state of affairs on a range of PET radiotracers for potential use in the imaging evaluation of men with prostate cancer.
近年来,人们对前列腺癌复杂生物学的基础认识取得了进展,为成像和治疗提供了越来越多的潜在靶点。前列腺癌的影像学评估需要根据这种显著异质性疾病的各个阶段进行调整。
在本文中,我回顾了一系列正电子发射断层扫描(PET)放射性示踪剂在评估男性前列腺癌中的潜在应用的现状。
