PSMA-PET tracer performs well in clinical trial

AuntMinnie

In the trial, 30 patients with recurrent disease or metastatic prostate cancer underwent baseline conventional imaging (CT, MRI, or bone scan) and whole-body Ga-68 PSMA-R2 PET/CT between 20 minutes and four hours after injection. The radiotracer was developed in 2019 for use in theranostics, the authors noted.
