Article Synopsis
- The study examined the effectiveness of PSMA PET/CT imaging in tracking patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) undergoing Radium-223 treatment, as traditional methods like PSA values are not reliable for follow-up.
- A total of 28 patients were analyzed, finding that a significant portion showed disease progression using two different imaging criteria, with patients experiencing progression having a higher risk of death compared to those without progression.
- The findings suggest that PSMA PET/CT is a useful tool for monitoring treatment response in mCRPC patients, with both imaging criteria yielding similar predictive outcomes for overall survival after treatment.
