Molecular imaging of prostate cancer is in a dynamic phase of development. Currently approved techniques are limited and researchers have been working on novel agents to improve accuracy in targeting and detecting prostate tumors. In addition, the complexity of various prostate cancer states also contributes to the challenges in evaluating suitable radiotracer candidates. We have highlighted nuclear medicine tracers that focus on mechanisms involved in bone metastasis, prostate cancer cell membrane synthesis, amino acid analogs, androgen analogs, and the prostate specific membrane antigen. Encouraging results with many of these innovative radiotracer compounds will not only advance diagnostic capabilities for prostate cancer but open opportunities for theranostic applications to treat this worldwide malignancy.
前列腺癌的分子成像正处于动态发展阶段。目前获批的技术有限,研究人员一直在致力于研发新型药物,以提高前列腺肿瘤靶向和检测的准确性。此外,各种前列腺癌状态的复杂性也给评估合适的放射性示踪剂候选物带来了挑战。我们重点介绍了聚焦于骨转移、前列腺癌细胞膜合成、氨基酸类似物、雄激素类似物以及前列腺特异性膜抗原相关机制的核医学示踪剂。许多这些创新性放射性示踪剂化合物取得的令人鼓舞的结果,不仅将推动前列腺癌的诊断能力提升,还将为治疗这种全球范围内的恶性肿瘤的诊疗应用带来机遇。
