Abstract

Abstract : Abstract: A 60-year-old man with suspected right renal cell carcinoma underwent 18 F-FDG PET/CT and 18 F prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) 1007 PET/CT scan. Compared with the 18 F-FDG PET/CT scan, 18 F-PSMA 1007 PET/CT showed intense tracer concentration in the primary tumor in the right kidney and intense tracer concentration consistently in all lung nodules. Unlike noted in previous pilot studies with 68 Ga-PSMA, we observed that the primary renal tumor also showed intense tracer avidity with 18 F-PSMA 1007. 18 F-PSMA 1007 PET/CT may provide preoperative insight into possible etiology, histopathological probability of tumor type, staging information, and theranostic potentials in evaluation of suspected renal cell carcinoma.
