Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is universally expressed in the endothelial cells of tumor-associated neovasculature of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma. Functional 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT also enables easier differentiation of the residual tumor from postoperative changes. An 18-year-old man with the residual intracranial disease received radiotherapy after surgery. In PSMA PET/CT imaging, uptake was noted initially only in the residual disease, and the same was absent after successful response to radiotherapy, unlike contrast MRI, which showed persistent enhancement. Functional 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT may be a very useful tool clinically for identifying early responses to radiotherapy compared with conventional structural imaging.
前列腺特异性膜抗原(PSMA)在青少年鼻咽血管纤维瘤肿瘤相关新生血管的内皮细胞中普遍表达。功能 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT 还能更轻松地区分残留肿瘤与术后改变。一名 18 岁的男性患者在手术后接受了颅内残余疾病的放疗。在 PSMA PET/CT 成像中,摄取最初仅见于残留疾病,且在放疗成功后未见摄取,而对比 MRI 显示持续增强。与传统结构成像相比,功能 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT 可能是一种非常有用的临床工具,用于识别早期放疗反应。
