Gallium 68 PSMA Project
Gallium-68 prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography-computed tomography (Ga-68 PSMA PET/CT) is an imaging modality that promises improved sensitivity and specificity of detection of prostate cancer lesions based on their increased uptake of PSMA-based radiotracers. It remains an emerging modality that has not yet been endorsed in the guidelines for the management of prostate cancer pending more established evidence to prove its efficacy. The objective of our current project is to assess the value of Ga-68 PSMA PET/CT in the detection and localization of patients diagnosed with intermediate or high risk prostate cancer.
