PSMA PET Imaging in Prostate Cancer Staging: Guiding Initial Diagnosis and Treatment Decisions
Panelists discuss how PSMA PET imaging plays a crucial role in the initial staging of prostate cancer, offering superior accuracy over conventional methods. Medical professionals consider factors such as diagnostic performance, tracer availability, and patient-specific characteristics when selecting appropriate PSMA PET agents. The integration of PSMA PET findings into clinical practice has led to more precise treatment planning, potentially improving patient outcomes. Pivotal trials have demonstrated the efficacy of various PSMA PET tracers in detecting prostate cancer metastases.
