Popis: Prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (PSMA-PET) has gained acceptance as a staging tool for prostate cancer (PCa). Recent reports suggest an association between PSMA PET and detection of clinically significant PCa (csPCa) on prostate biopsy.To assess the diagnostic accuracy of PSMA PET-targeted biopsy (PSMA-PET-TB) for csPCa detection.We searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus in December 2021 to identify studies assessing the accuracy of PSMA-PET-TB for csPCa detection. A diagnostic meta-analysis was performed to calculate pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of PSMA-PET-TB alone and in combination with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-TB for detecting csPCa.Overall, five prospective studies involving 497 patients were eligible for this meta-analysis. For csPCa detection, PSMA-PET-TB had pooled sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of 0.89 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.85-0.93), 0.56 (95% CI 0.29-0.80), 0.69 (95% CI 0.58-0.79), and 0.78 (95% CI 0.50-0.93), respectively. Among the three studies assessing the PSMA-PET + MRI-TB strategy, the pooled sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV for csPCa detection were 0.91 (95% CI 0.77-0.97), 0.64 (95% CI 0.40-0.82), 0.75 (95% CI 0.56-0.87), and 0.85 (95% CI 0.62-0.95), respectively. For lesions with a Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) score of 3, the sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV were 0.69, 0.73, 0.48, and 0.86, respectively.PSMA-PET-TB appears to have favorable diagnostic accuracy for csPCa detection and combination with MRI seems to improve this. According to our meta-analysis, PSMA-PET has promising clinical application for detection of csPCa, namely in the case of PI-RADS 3 lesions. Further prospective studies are needed to explore the true clinical utility of a PSMA-PET-based diagnostic pathway.Prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (PSMA-PET) is a promising imaging method for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer and seems to have additional value to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for detection.
