68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT in prostate cancer patients with biochemical persitence after radical prostatectomy. Detection of cancer locations and impact on subsequent therapy.
Conclusions: In this patient-series, 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT proved its role in BCP setting detecting disease outside prostate bed in 47.6% of cases. In these patients adjuvant/salvage therapy plan was modified due to the integration of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT results into the decision-making process. These data may suggest the presence of extended disease not detected by conventional imaging prior to surgery and highlight the importance of PET imaging in BCP setting.
