Meta Analysis18F-prostate specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computerized tomography for lymph node staging in medium/high risk prostate cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Lymph node staging of prostate cancer (PCa) is important for planning and monitoring of treatment. 18 F-prostate specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computerized tomography ( 18 F-PSMA PET/CT) has several advantages over 68 Ga-PSMA PET/CT, but its diagnostic value requires further investigation. This meta-analysis focused on establishing the diagnostic utility of 18 F-PSMA PET/CT for lymph node staging in medium/high-risk PCa. ⋯ International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO), No. CRD42023391101.
