ABSTRACT
The gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPr) has gained recognition as a promising target for both diagnostic and therapeutic applications in a variety of human cancers. This study aims to explore the primary tumor detection capabilities of [68Ga] Ga-GRPr PET imaging, specifically in newly diagnosed intra-prostatic prostate cancer lesions (PCa). Following PRISMA-DTA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses of Diagnostic Test Accuracy Studies) guidelines, a systematic literature search was conducted using the Medline, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Data regarding patient characteristics and imaging procedure details-including the type of radiotracer used, administered activity, image acquisition time, scanner modality, criteria, and detection rate of index test-were extracted from the included studies. The pooled patient-and lesion-based detection rates, along with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI), were calculated using a random effects model. The final analysis included 9 studies involving 291 patients and 350 intra-prostatic lesions with [68Ga] Ga-GRPr PET imaging in primary PCa. In per-patient-based analysis of [68Ga] Ga-GRPr PET imaging, the pooled detection rates of overall and patients with Gleason score ≥ 7 were 87.09% (95% CI 74.98-93.82) and 89.01% (95% CI 68.17-96.84), respectively. In per-lesion-based analysis, the pooled detection rate [68Ga] Ga-GRPr PET imaging was 78.54% (95% CI 69.8-85.29). The pooled detection rate mpMRI (multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging) in patient-based analysis was 91.85% (95% CI 80.12-96.92). The difference between the detection rates of the mpMRI and [68Ga] Ga-GRPr PET imaging was not statistically significant (OR 0.90, 95% CI 0.23-3.51). Our findings suggest that [68Ga] Ga-GRPr PET imaging has the potential as a diagnostic target for primary PCa. Future research is needed to determine the effectiveness of [68Ga] Ga-GRPr PET in delivering additional imaging data and guiding therapeutic decisions.
