[Abstract] In the present, prostate cancer still remains one of the most common malignancy afflicting elderly men and its morbidity and mortality significantly increase with population aging, which makes prostate cancer remain a major global cancer problem. Earlier diagnosis and treatment is an essential strategy for better survival rate in prostate cancer. Single-domain antibody (SdAb) is an antigen-specific, variable fragment of camelid heavy chain-only antibody. The smaller size, better stability and ability to recognize and combine with unique epitope specifically as an affinity reagent have made SdAb a useful class of biomolecular for study and diagnostic and therapeutic application in malignancy. In this summary, we review the current relevant studies on SdAb for prostate cancer in molecular imaging, which may provide a new train of thought for future study and clinical application.
