NCIt definition : A radioconjugate composed of the human prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeting
ligand, florastamin, labeled with the radioisotope fluorine F 18, with potential use
as a tracer for PSMA-expressing tumors during positron emission tomography/computed
tomography (PET/CT). Upon administration of fluorine F 18 florastamin, the florastamin
moiety targets and binds to PSMA-expressing tumor cells. Upon binding, PSMA-expressing
tumor cells can be detected during PET/CT imaging. PSMA, a tumor-associated antigen
(TAA) and type II transmembrane protein, is expressed on the membrane of prostatic
epithelial cells and overexpressed on prostate tumor cells.;
