Sponsor's own description

As choline transport and phosphorylation are upregulated in most cancers, including prostate cancer, positron emission tomography (PET) with choline tracers has found widespread use to detect recurrent disease. However, choline metabolism is not increased in a significant number of cases, probably explaining why this imaging method has been reported to be weakly sensitive and specific fro the detection of prostate cancer lesions, especially at low prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. By contrast, prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is overexpressed in most prostate cancer, suggesting that 68Ga-labelled PSMA ligands could be superior to choline tracers. A meta-analysis published in 2016 (Perera M. and al.), which included 18 studies, of which five reported histolopathologic correlation data for 68Ga-PSMA PET-positive lesions, indicated favourable sensitivity and specificity profiles of 68Ga-labelled PSMA ligands compared to choline-based PET imaging techniques.
