Abstract
Despite an evolving treatment landscape for people with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, prognosis for this patient population remains poor. Prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (PSMA PET) imaging may be used to identify patients with PSMA-positive (and no significant PSMA-negative) metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who could benefit from PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy. As the PSMA PET imaging and treatment landscape expands, there is a growing need for guidance and greater utilization of PSMA-targeted tracers and radioligand therapies to improve outcomes for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. This review discusses the current clinical considerations of PSMA PET, including the various imaging agents available and how best to identify patients eligible for PSMA PET imaging and subsequent PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy. This review also examines opportunities to mitigate discordant findings, as well as considerations around the standardization of reporting of PSMA PET imaging, key gaps in the evidence base, and guidance around the use of PSMA PET in clinical and research settings.
