A single‐center retrospective review of metastatic prostate cancer on PSMA position emission tomography/computed tomography: Beyond lymph nodes and bones
Given the increasing utilization of PSMA PET/CT, increased knowledge of the location and pattern of distribution of visceral/soft tissue metastatic sites is crucial not only for staging but also to better understand patterns of therapeutic response. We identified the lungs, liver and adrenal glands as the most common visceral/soft tissue metastatic sites from prostate cancer. We found that higher PSA levels at the time of PSMA PET/CT imaging were positively associated with concurrent osseous and nodal involvement.
