radiolabelled with 99m Tc using a photoreduction technique.
RESULTSThe findings of prostate imaging and histology were identical in seven patients. Scans showed understaging and overstaging in six and three patients, respectively.
CONCLUSIONSPSMA scintigraphy using 99m Tc-labelled MUJ591 identifies the presence of prostate cancer, but is not sensitive in delineating micro-invasion of the capsule, seminal vesicles or bladder neck. As in other studies it seems to be useful in detecting prostate bed recurrence and distant micrometastasis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
