Table 2. Clinical Significance of Radionuclides in Patients with Prostate Cancer.

Radiopharmaceuticals Clinical Significance
[68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 They can detect more than 80% of clinically unpredictable biochemical relapses, which could be benefit for early diagnosis, staging and curative effect of prostatic adenocarcinoma and guide clinicians to formulate personalized treatment plans. Among them, [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-I&T can detect high-grade prostatic adenocarcinoma (GS 8 or above, PSA > 10 ng/mL) sensitively and [68Ga]Ga-iPSMA-BN accumulates the least in the body.
[68Ga]Ga-PSMA-617
[68Ga]Ga-PSMA-I&T
[68Ga]Ga-iPSMA-BN
[68Ga]Ga-PSMA-TO-1 It can improve the accuracy of early diagnosis, staging and curative effect of prostatic adenocarcinoma under the delayed imaging.
[68Ga]NeoBOMB1 It stays in the tumor longer than other organs, so it can detect the prostatic adenocarcinoma and NEPC more accurately.
[68Ga]Ga-DOTA-NT-20.3 They can make early diagnosis and curative effect of NEPC, including the PRRT treatment.
[68Ga]RM26
[18F]F-PSMA-1007 They can sensitively detect small periurethral lesions of prostatic adenocarcinoma.
[18F]DCFPyL
[18F]F-JK-PSMA-7
Al[18F]F-PSMA-BCH In the absence of the Ge/Ga generator, they are easy to be prepared, which is beneficial to examination of more prostatic adenocarcinoma patient.
Al[18F]F-PSMA-11
[99mTc]Tc-MIP-1404 Radiation dose of patients with prostatic adenocarcinoma can be reduced in the examination with single-photon radionuclides.
[99mTc]Tc-MIP-1405
[89Zr]Zr-PSMA-Df It can improve the detection rate of lymph node metastasis near ureter, which is conducive to the accurate staging of the prostatic adenocarcinoma.
[89Zr]Zr-df-IAB2M It can perform delayed imaging and can rapid from the body quickly.
[89Zr]4A06 They can detect neuroendocrine prostate cancer to distinguish between different types of prostate cancer.
[18F]FDG
[18F]FSPG It can reflect tumor redox status and antioxidant capacity, and predict tumor chemotherapy resistance of prostatic adenocarcinoma.
[177Lu]Lu -PSMA-617 These radionuclides are suitable for patients with prostatic adenocarcinoma who have already developed mCRPC.
[177Lu]Lu-EB-PSMA-617
[177Lu]Lu -PSMA-I&T
[177Lu]Lu-PSMA-TO-1 They can therapy prostatic adenocarcinoma and NEPC at all stages.
[177Lu]4A06
[177Lu]NeoBOMB1
[225Ac]Ac-PSMA-617 They can therapy lesions that are insensitive to 177Lu-lableded pharmaceuticals.
[225Ac]Ac-PSMA-TO-1
[90Y]Y-DOTA-TOC It can therapy patients with NEPC at all stages.

There is almost no difference in the clinical significance of nuclides in the same cell. GS = Gleason score, PSA = prostate-specific antigen, NEPC = neuroendocrine prostate cancer, PRRT = peptide receptor radionuclide therapy, mCRPC = metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer
