title: Imaging of Prostate Cancer Using64Cu-Labeled Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen Ligand.
abstract: Prostate cancer is the most common noncutaneous cancer among men, rendering the diagnosis and staging of significant medical and public interest. One of the most interesting developments in the application of nuclear oncology has been the development of novel diagnostic agents that are able to facilitate targeted therapies using the concept of theranostics. This review summarizes the current and emerging molecular imaging techniques for the investigation of patients with prostate cancer with emphasis on the potential of64Cu-PSMA PET/CT in staging, restaging, and the application of theranostics.
