This is a case of [68 Ga]Ga-Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-11 PET/CT in a 73-years old patient presenting high Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) levels despite both multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and 12-core saturation biopsy negative for prostate cancer (Pca). This is a highly interesting case because, despite the advanced metastatic spread at initial presentation as showed by [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-PET/CT, the primary Pca was detected by none of the diagnostic techniques (12 random sample biopsy, mpMRI, PSMA PET/CT). However, [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-PET/CT showed a suspicious axillary lesion suitable for biopsy, which finally resulted as Pca metastasis. This case report is therefore a brilliant example of how [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-PET/CT optimized patient’s management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
