RESUMO
The present systematic review and meta-analysis are focused on the diagnostic accuracy of PSMA PET/MRI in primary prostate cancer assessment. A literature search was conducted on the PubMed database using the terms "PSMA" AND "prostate cancer" or "prostate" AND "PET/MRI" or "PET MRI" or "PET-MRI" or "PET-MR" AND "primary" or "staging." Ten articles were eligible for analysis after applying the exclusion criteria. PET/MRI showed better diagnostic accuracy in detecting primary PCa compared to multiparametric (mp) MRI and PET alone. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of 68Ga-PSMA PET/MRI at the per-patient level were 0.976 (CI: 0.943-0.991) and 0.739 (CI: 0.437-0.912); respectively. PSMA PET/MRI has good sensitivity in detecting primary PCa, especially in patients with PIRADS 3 PCa.
