Summary

The aim of the study is the evaluation of the possible role of PSMA PET-CT in early detection of prostate cancer, reducing rate of unnecessary prostate biopsies, and in cases of prostate cancer, correct staging of the disease and corresponding management.

Detailed description

The aim of the study is the evaluation of the possible role of PSMA PET-CT in early detection of prostate cancer, reducing rate of unnecessary prostate biopsies, and in cases of prostate cancer, correct staging of the disease and corresponding management. Consequently, use of PSMA PET-CT in patients with suspicious PSA changes may improve our knowledge whether the prostate tumor is clinically significant or not (for the development of PSMA PET-CT with 68 Ga ligand allows to visualize prostate cancer with aggressive patterns), and improve clinical decision making for performing prostate biopsy or selecting patients for observation only. In light of the above, we are of the opinion that this proposed study has the potential to significantly alter the medical practice of how prostate cancer is diagnosed, which even today suffers from real clinical dilemma.
