Abstract

Imaging plays an important role in the evaluation of prostate cancer patients. In recent years, much attention has been focused on 68Ga-PSMA PET-CT in prostate cancer patients and has been widely used for staging, especially biochemical relapse-restaging and therapy response for these patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate 68 Ga PSMA PET-CT imaging in initial staging-first line imaging of prostate cancer from low to high risk patients based on standard reporting system with E PSMA molecular staging.
