Utilizing PSMA PET Imaging in Metastatic Prostate Cancer to Guide Treatment Strategies

Opinion
Video

Panelists discuss how PSMA PET imaging has significantly influenced prostate cancer management by enabling precise detection of metastatic lesions, thereby informing and altering treatment strategies. For instance, a study demonstrated that ^68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT impacted definitive radiation therapy (RT) planning in 16.5% of patients, leading to modifications in RT fields based on the imaging findings.

Video content above is prompted by the following:

  • Present cases to highlight/illustrate the clinical application of PSMA PET imaging in guiding/informing treatment decisions.
  • Please share an example where PSMA PET led to expanding your radiation field.
  • What findings did PSMA PET imaging provide, and how did this help guide your decisions?
  • Briefly comment on this case and discuss implications for the practice setting.
