Ga-PSMA PET/CT is the upcoming imaging modality for staging, restaging and response assessment of prostate cancer. However, due to neuroendocrine differentiation in some of patients with prostate cancer, they express somatostatin receptors instead of prostate specific membrane antigen. This can be exploited and other modalities like Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT and F-FDG PET/CT should be used in such cases for guiding management. We hereby discuss a similar case of 67-year-old man of adenocarcinoma prostate with neuroendocrine differentiation, which shows the potential pitfall of Ga-PSMA PET/CT imaging and benefit of Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT and F-FDG PET/CT in such cases.
Ga-PSMA PET/CT 是一种新兴的成像方式,可用于前列腺癌的分期、再分期和反应评估。然而,由于一些前列腺癌患者存在神经内分泌分化,他们会表达生长抑素受体,而非前列腺特异性膜抗原。这种情况可以被利用,其他方式如 Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT 和 F-FDG PET/CT 也应该在这种情况下用于指导治疗。我们在此讨论了一例 67 岁患有神经内分泌分化的前列腺腺癌男性患者的类似病例,该病例说明了 Ga-PSMA PET/CT 成像的潜在缺陷,以及 Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT 和 F-FDG PET/CT 在这种情况下的益处。
