OBJECTIVETo evaluate the reliability of prostate scintigraphy using a radiolabelled antibody (MUJ591) raised against the external domain of prostate-specific membrane antigen [PSMA) in the staging of early prostate cancer,PATIENTS AND METHODSThis was a prospective study of 16 patients who had radical retropubic prostatectomies (median PSA 9.75 ng/mL). All patients underwent PSMA imaging using MUJ591 radiolabelled with Tc-99m using a photoreduction technique.RESULTS The findings of prostate imaging and histology were identical in seven patients. Scans showed understaging and overstaging in six and three patients, respectively.CONCLUSIONS PSMA scintigraphy using Tc-99m-labelled MUJ591 identifies the presence of prostate cancer, but is not sensitive in delineating micro-invasion of the capsule, seminal vesicles or bladder neck. As in other studies it seems to be useful in detecting prostate bed recurrence and distant micrometastasis.
