Diagnostic performance of Gallium-68 prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography-computed tomography in intermediate and high risk prostate cancer.

Gallium-68 prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography-computed tomography (Ga-68 PSMA PET/CT) is an imaging modality that promises improved sensitivity and specificity of detection of prostate cancer lesions based on their increased uptake of PSMA-based radiotracers. It remains an emerging modality that has not yet been endorsed in the guidelines for the management of prostate cancer pending more established evidence to prove its efficacy. The objective of the study is to assess the value of Ga-68 PSMA PET/CT in the detection and localization of patients diagnosed with intermediate or high risk prostate cancer.

Vocal changes in patients with prostate cancer following androgen ablation.

Objective: To compare the prevalence of vocal symptoms and parameters in patients with prostate cancer treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).

Materials And Methods: Thirty-two male patients aged 60-83 years were recruited for this study. The subjects were divided into two groups: one group consisted of 18 patients with prostate cancer treated with ADT using gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists and the other group consisted of 14 controls matched according to age.
