The aim of this study was to analyze patterns of persistent versus recurrent or new PET lesions in a selected patient cohort with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) persistence after salvage lymph node dissection (SLND) and pre-procedure and post-procedure prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligand PET. Sixteen patients were included in this multicenter study. The inclusion criteria were PSMA PET performed for biochemical recurrence before SLND (pre-SLND PET) and repeat PSMA PET performed for a persistently elevated PSA level (≥0.

We sought to define regions at risk for residual disease as well as the accuracy of prostate specific membrane antigen ligand positron emission tomography in patients with prostate specific antigen persistence.
Materials And Methods: At 6 participating centers a total of 191 patients who underwent Ga-prostate specific membrane antigen-11 positron emission tomography/computerized tomography or positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging for persistently elevated postoperative prostate specific antigen (0.
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted PET imaging recently emerged as a new method for the staging and restaging of prostate cancer. Most published studies investigated the diagnostic potential of Ga-labeled PSMA agents that are excreted renally. F-PSMA-1007 is a novel PSMA ligand that has excellent preclinical characteristics and that is only minimally excreted by the urinary tract, a potential advantage for pelvic imaging.

The first report described the antitumor and side effects of a single dose. The aim of this analysis was to evaluate toxicity and antitumor activity after single and repetitive therapies.
