There are several promising radiotracers used for both staging and restaging of primary and recurrent brain tumours based on various mechanisms of tracer localization in tumour cells. 68Ga-PSMA PET has extremely low background uptake in normal brain tissue and consequently high tumour-to-brain ratio making it a promising imaging radiotracer for gliomas. 68Ga-PSMA demonstrates utility in evaluating high grade glioma during both initial workup or when suspecting recurrence. Herein the authors evaluate the role of this imaging modality and the potential future it holds in the management of high grade gliomas.
有几种有前途的放射性示踪剂可用于原发性和复发性脑肿瘤的分期和再分期,其基于示踪剂在肿瘤细胞中定位的各种机制。68Ga-PSMA PET 在正常脑组织中的摄取背景极低,因此肿瘤与脑的比值很高,使其成为神经胶质瘤有前途的成像放射性示踪剂。68Ga-PSMA 在初始检查或怀疑复发时,都可用于评估高级别胶质瘤。在此,作者评估了这种成像方式的作用及其在高级别胶质瘤治疗中的潜在未来。
