PET Imaging For Prostate Cancer
Case description
This video shows a presentation about PET imaging for prostate cancer.
Video by Gerald L. Andriole, Jr., MD, the Robert K. Royce Distinguished Professor and Chief of Urologic Surgery at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, the Siteman Cancer Center, and Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri, reviews the 2020 NCCN Guidelines, focusing on PET imaging for prostate cancer and related studies.
He establishes that PET/CT and PET/MRI for detection of biochemically recurrent disease have been approved, though the majority of the data collected is specifically for the Ga-68 PSMA tracer. F-18 DCFBC, F-18DCFPyl, and F-18 PSMA 1007 are currently being evaluated for possible advantages over Ga-68 PSMA. Dr. Andriole then discusses several studies which demonstrate both the benefits and limitations of PET-directed therapies in the prostate cancer setting. Dr. Andriole concludes by looking at studies which compared PSMA PET to conventional imaging and found PSMA PET to be significantly more effective.
