Application progress of 68Ga-PSMA-11-PET/CT in the diagnosis of lymph node metastasis in prostate cancer
Lymph node metastasis of prostate cancer is frequently associated with a poor prognosis and a short survival cycle.CT and MRI have low accuracy in identifying prostate cancer lymph node metastases.The introduction of Gallium-68 labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography has improved the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer,it has improved the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.In this paper,the accuracy of this technique compared with conventional imaging and other tracers in the diagnosis of prostate cancer and lymph node metastasis,identification of biochemical recurrent foci,improvement of salvage radiation therapy and non-lymph node metastasis imaging sites are reviewed.
