Cover Story: Carboxypeptidase type II, also known as prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), is expressed on the surface of neovascular endothelial cells in various solid tumors, including clear cell renal cancer (ccRCC). Based on its genetic characteristics, it is considered a highly vascularized tumor, which might be a rationale for using PET/CT imaging with PSMA-targeting rather than [18F]F-FDG, which is not routinely recommended due to its excretion pathway and its low accuracy. In the studies included in this systematic review, PSMA-targeted PET/CT showed promising results in the diagnostics of ccRCC, being able to detect more lesions than conventional imaging examinations. It can identify ccRCC lesions with a more aggressive phenotype, predict treatment outcomes and change patient management in a significant percentage of patients. View this paper
