Potential Role of PSMA-Targeted PET in Thyroid Malignant Disease: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recently, several studies introduced the potential use of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeting radiopharmaceuticals in radioiodine-refractory thyroid cancer (TC).

Methods

The authors accomplished a comprehensive literature search of original articles concerning the performance of PSMA-targeted PET/CT in TC patients. Original papers exploring this molecular imaging examination in radioiodine-refractory TC patients undergoing restaging of their disease were included.

Results

A total of 6 documents concerning the diagnostic performance of PSMA-targeted PET/CT in TC (49 patients) were included in this systematic review. The included articles reported heterogeneous values of PSMA-targe
