Background: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) is now the standard of care to guide prostate biopsies during workups and assessment of men with suspected prostate cancer (PCa). In addition to intraprostatic lesion detection, MRI usually covers the bony pelvis and pelvic lymph nodes, two of the commonest sites for metastatic disease. Subsequent staging has traditionally been based on further scanning using a combination of computed tomography (CT) and bone scintigraphy (BS), and more recently, positron emission tomography (PET) scanning with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligand.

Although 18F-FDG PET/CT scan is not the preferred modality to evaluate prostate cancer patients due to generally low uptake of FDG in prostate cancer cells, it can still be helpful in some selected cases with diagnostic dilemma. Here we are presenting an unusual prostate cancer case, status post radical prostatectomy, with heterogenous uptake in osseous lesions on 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT scan and low PSA values. He was referred for further evaluation with 18F-FDG PET/CT scan, revealing widely metastatic lesions in bone and liver, in addition to mildly avid recurrence in prostatectomy surgical bed and also metastasis in the spleen.

Purpose: An MRI-based risk calculator (RC) has been recommended for diagnosing clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). PSMA PET/CT can detect lesions that are not visible on MRI, and the addition of PSMA PET/CT to MRI may improve diagnostic performance. The aim of this study was to incorporate the PRIMARY score or SUVmax derived from [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT into the RC and compare these models with MRI-based RC to assess whether this can further reduce unnecessary biopsies.

Background: Treatment of castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer with [¹⁷⁷Lu]PSMA radioligand.
Case Presentation: A man in his seventies with metastatic prostate cancer received castration therapy for four years, developing castration-resistant disease. PET/CT with [⁶⁸Ga]PSMA-11 showed high uptake in metastatic lymph nodes.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess receptor expression in metastatic differentiated thyroid carcinoma patients with progressive elevated thyroglobulin and negative iodine scintigraphy, we used 68 Ga-DOTATATE [Gallium-68 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA)-octreotate (DOTATATE)] (Krenning's score) and 68 Ga-PSMA-11 (Gallium-68 prostate-specific membrane antigen-11) PET-computed tomography (CT) [molecular imaging prostate-specific membrane antigen (miPSMA) score]. Patients with Krenning's score 3 and above and miPSMA score 2 and above were considered to determine the incidence of patients, who would qualify for treatment with 177 Lu-DOTATATE/PSMA [Lutetium-177 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA)-octreotate (DOTATATE)/prostate-specific membrane antigen]-based therapy. In addition, we compared 68 Ga-DOTATATE and 68 Ga-PSMA-11 PET-CT with 2-deoxy-2-[F-18]fluoroglucose ( 18 F-FDG) PET-CT (using maximum standardized uptake value).
