Purpose: Quantification of PSMA expression via PSMA PET is well-established, however quantification of PSMA via immunohistochemistry (IHC) is not standardized. Our aim was to determine the most optimal PSMA IHC scoring system to quantify PSMA expression with PSMA PET as reference standard.
Methods: Primary intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancer patients received an [F]PSMA-1007 PET/MRI followed by radical prostatectomy.
Unlabelled: International Society of Urological Pathology grade group 1 (GG 1) prostate cancer (PCa) is generally considered insignificant, with recent suggestions that it should even be considered as "noncancerous". We evaluated outcomes for patients with GG 1 PCa on biopsy (bGG 1) and high-risk features (prostate-specific antigen [PSA] >20 ng/ml and/or cT3-4 stage) to challenge the hypothesis that every case of bGG 1 PCa has a benign disease course. We used the multi-institutional EMPaCT database, which includes data for 9508 patients with high-risk PCa undergoing surgery.

The aim of our study was to assess long-term cancer-specific survival (CSS) and OS for surgically treated patients with newly diagnosed nonmetastatic node-negative PCa meeting the STAMPEDE criteria for high risk.
Methods: This was a retrospective, multicenter cohort study of patients with European Association of Urology (EAU) high-risk PCa who underwent radical prostatectomy and extended pelvic lymph node dissection.
