Better Oncological Outcomes After Prostate-specific Membrane Antigen Positron Emission Tomography–guided Salvage Radiotherapy Following Prostatectomy
For patients who experience recurrence of prostate cancer after surgical removal of their prostate, salvage radiotherapy (sRT) is a further treatment option. We found that a type of scan called PSMA PET (prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography) to identify recurrence and guide sRT can improve recurrence-free survival because of better targeting of pelvic lymph nodes that may contain cancer cells.
