Focal therapy offers a promising approach for treating localized prostate cancer (PC) with minimal invasiveness and potential cost benefits. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and brachytherapy (BT) are among these options but lack long-term efficacy data. Patient follow-ups typically use biopsies and multiparametric MRI (mpMRI), which often miss recurrences.

PET/CT targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is commonly used in patients with prostate cancer. PSMA has been found in other solid tumours, including primary brain tumours. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT for preoperative diagnosis and 2-year prognosis.

Objective: The objective of this study was to characterize exclusive costal lesions detected by 68 Gallium-labelled prostate-specific membrane antigen ([ 68 Ga]Ga-PSMA-11) PET/computed tomography (CT) at initial staging or biochemical recurrence (BCR) in prostate cancer (PCa) patients, and to identify clinical and/or PET/CT criteria associated with benign and malignant lesions.
Methods: We retrospectively identified 54 patients with PCa who underwent [ 68 Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT for initial staging ( N = 39) or BCR ( N = 15) and whose reports described rib lesions, at the exclusion of any other lesions, whether doubtful, suspicious, or established. Posttherapy prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels were used to determine whether those lesions were benign or malignant.

The radiometal gallium-68 (Ga-68) has garnered significant interest due to its convenient production via compact and widely available generators and the high performance of Ga-labeled compounds for positron-emission tomography (PET) imaging for cancer diagnosis and management of patients undergoing targeted radionuclide therapy. Given the short half life of Ga-68 (68 min), microfluidic-based radiosynthesis is a promising avenue to establish very rapid, efficient, and routine radiolabeling with Ga-68; however, the typical elution volume of Ga-68 from a generator (4-10 mL) is incompatible with the microliter reaction volumes of microfluidic devices. To bridge this gap, we developed a microscale cartridge-based approach to concentrate Ga-68.
