68Ga-labelled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is emerging as the tool with the most potential for imaging recurrent prostate cancer [
1]. There have been a few reports of significant accumulation of the tracer in metastatic clear cell renal carcinoma [
2] and metastatic breast cancer [
3]. The expression of PSMA in tumour-associated vasculature of breast cancer and primary gliomas has been reported [
4]. Similar to prostate cancer,
18F-FDG PET/CT is also not the best imaging option in primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The potential of
68Ga-PSMA for imaging primary HCC is not yet documented. …
