Overall, PSMA-PET/CT detected distant metastasis in 84 of 182 cases (46%) that were negative by other types of imaging, ...
PSMA-PET/CT findings were positive in 84% of the patients. PSMA-PET/CT detected distant metastatic disease in 46% of patients, including 34% of patients after RP, 56% after definitive RT, and 60% ...
Researchers conducted a retrospective study using data from 182 subjects with high-risk recurrent prostate cancers.
A study led by UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, published in JAMA Network Open, shows that nearly half of the ...
Prostate cancer stands as the third most common cancer among Malaysian men, with 70 percent of cases diagnosed at advanced ...
Prostate-specific membrane antigen–positron emission tomography (PSMA-PET) detected metastatic disease in 46% of patients with high-risk prostate cancer previously classified as nonmetastatic by ...
Prostate-specific membrane antigen-positron emission tomography (PSMA-PET) frequently detects metastatic disease missed by conventional imaging, investigators report.
If you are tested for PSMA, doctors will administer a radioactive dye that binds to these antigens. Under a PET-CT scan, the dye lights up illuminating any trace of prostate cancer cells inside.
PSMA-PET leverages ‘radiotracers’ that bind to prostate cancer cells, making them visible on PET scans and providing functional imaging that reveals the biological activity of cancer.
Nearly half of high-risk prostate cancer patients classified as nonmetastatic by traditional imaging show metastases when ...
