⁶⁸Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT versus ⁶⁸Ga-PSMA-11 PET/MRI for the detection of biochemically recurrent prostate cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Our aim was to conduct a meta-analysis and systematic review in order to compare the diagnostic efficacy of ⁶⁸Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT and ⁶⁸Ga-PSMA-11 PET/MRI in patients with biochemically recurrent after radical prostatectomy and biochemically recurrent prostate cancers (BCR) after hybrid RT and RP.

Methods

Up until February 2023, we searched PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science for pertinent papers. Studies examining the utility of ⁶⁸Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT or PET/MRI as a screening tool for biochemically recurrent prostate cancer were included. To measure heterogeneity, we employed the I² statistic. In cases of substantial heterogeneity (I² > 50%), we used the random effect model to produce a forest plot. In other cases, w
