Abstract
PURPOSE: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligands targeting has shown promising results in staging of prostate cancer (PCa). The aim of present study was to evaluate the value of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT in PCa patients with biochemical recurrence.Entities:

Fig. 1Images from a 73-year-old patient after radical prostatectomy (2019; pT4), after antiandrogen therapy, and with PSA level rising to 0.45 ng/ml (July 2020). Patient underwent 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT, which suggested of local recurrence. (A) Maximum-intensity projection of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT. It could be located in the posterior wall of bladder by CT image (C) and fused PET/CT images (D), and corresponding PET (B) show there is intense uptake.
Fig. 2Images from a 70-year-old patient after radical prostatectomy (2018; Gleason score of 9; pT3b), after antiandrogen therapy, and with PSA level rising to 0.18 ng/ml (November 2019). (A) Maximum-intensity projection of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT shows intense tracer-associated uptake in the right pelvis. CT images (C) reveal lymph node metastases in region of right pelvis. Corresponding PET (B) and fused PET/CT images (D) show intense uptake.
Fig. 3Images from a 69-year-old patient after radical prostatectomy with PSA level rising to 0.34 ng/ml. (A) Maximum-intensity projection of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT shows intense tracer-associated uptake in the right pelvis. CT images (C) reveal bone metastases in region of right ischium. Corresponding PET(B) and fused PET/CT images (D) show intense uptake.
Fig. 4(A) 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT scan in relation to PSA level in 69 patients. (B) 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT scan in relation to Gleason score in 60 patients. Blue columns show the number of patients with a positive 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT scan. gray columns show the number of patients with a negative PET scan (For interpretation of the references to color in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the web version of this article.).
