Comment on: Role of 68-Ga-PSMA-PET/CT in pelvic radiotherapy field definitions for lymph node coverage in prostate cancer patients, by Onal C, et al

We read with great interest the authors ’ take on pelvic lymph node involvement as detected on Gallium-68-prostate specific membrane antigen (Ga68-PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) computed tomography (CT) and congratulate them on their possibly practice-changing findings [1]. Till recently, the standard staging investigations fo r a patient with carcinoma prostate would include a CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of pelvis along with a bone scan; paucity of anatomic abdominal imaging or whole body biologic imaging resulted in the fact that small or early common iliac and lower paraaortic nodal metastases would often be missed.
