The Relationship between D’Amico and ISUP Risk Classifications and 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT SUVmax Values in Newly Diagnosed Prostate Cancers
Our study showed that <sup>68</sup>Ga-PSMA PET/CT is a highly effective method for staging newly diagnosed high-risk prostate cancer. The probability of metastasis was found to be dramatically increased in Gleason 8 and above. According to D'Amico risk classification, metastasis was detected in at least half of high-risk patients. Since the sensitivity of metastasis was 78.9% in patients with prostate gland SUVmax value above 8.75, we think that these patients should be carefully reported in terms of metastasis.
