Abstrakt: 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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
