Cost Analysis of PSMA-PET in the PROSPET-BX Trial

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first cost analysis study to compare different strategies incorporating PSMA-PET in the re-biopsy setting, demonstrating that the combined "mpMRI or PSMA-PET" pathway is the most cost-effective diagnostic pathway for csPCa detection.

Abstract

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first cost analysis study to compare different strategies incorporating PSMA-PET in the re-biopsy setting, demonstrating that the combined "mpMRI or PSMA-PET" pathway is the most cost-effective diagnostic pathway for csPCa detection.
