Einsatz von PSMA-PET/CT beim Prostatakarzinom

In den letzten Jahren hat die PSMA-Liganden-PET vielversprechende Ergebnisse gezeigt und so enorm an Bedeutung bei der Versorgung von Prostatakarzinompatienten gewonnen. Dieser Beitrag soll einen Überblick zur PSMA-PET/CT in unterschiedlichen klinischen Situationen geben und auf aktuelle prospektive Studienergebnisse eingehen, welche den Stellenwert der PSMA-vermittelten Hybridbildgebung in den kommenden Jahren noch weiter steigern werden.
