Prostate specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (PSMA PET) is an excellent molecular imaging technique for prostate cancer. Currently, PSMA PET for patients with primary prostate cancer is supplementary to conventional imaging techniques, according to guidelines. This supplementary function of PSMA PET is due to a lack of systematic review of its strengths, limitations, and potential development direction. Thus, we review PSMA ligands, detection, T, N, and M staging, treatment management, and false results of PSMA PET in clinical studies. We also discuss the strengths and challenges of PSMA PET. PSMA PET can greatly increase the detection rate of prostate cancer and accuracy of T/N/M staging, which facilitates more appropriate treatment for primary prostate cancer. Lastly, we propose that PSMA PET could become the first-line imaging modality for primary prostate cancer, and we describe its potential expanded application.
