Comparing F-18 Axumin results with PSA values in patients with prostate cancer

Conclusions: There is a visual difference between the two mean PSA values, and also a statistically significant difference between the PSA values and a positive or negative Axumin scan. Based on these results, a higher PSA value could be used independently to predict the extent of the disease without an Axumin scan. This research would have been helped with a larger sample size, and categorizing patients based on treatments.
