Excerpt

The erroneously named prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA), also known by the functional description of glutamatedecarboxypeptidase 2, has in recent years seen a massive upsurge in interest in nuclear medicine due to the newly available specific functional substrate tracers for both positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and radionuclide therapy [112]. Because of its superior characteristics [1315] PSMA targeted imaging and therapy has become part of routine clinical care in an almost unprecedented rapid adoption process and has replaced the previous clinical standard wherever the necessary facilities are available and regulations allow the use of PSMA targeted tracers before completion of the formal trials on efficacy and pharmaceutical registration procedures. …
