PSMA PET-CT was 27 percentage points more accurate than CT and bone scan for finding spread in men with high-risk prostate cancer before treatment, with less radiation and more influence on management, and it has replaced conventional imaging where available.
Randomised multicentre trial of 302 men with high-risk localised prostate cancer randomised to conventional imaging (CT and bone scan) or gallium-68 PSMA PET-CT for staging, with crossover imaging to define a reference standard.
Accuracy was 92 percent for PSMA PET-CT against 65 percent for conventional imaging, with higher sensitivity (85 versus 38 percent) and specificity, fewer equivocal results, lower radiation dose and more frequent management change.
PSMA PET-CT is the preferred staging investigation for high-risk prostate cancer and for biochemical recurrence, though most treatment trials were designed with conventional imaging.
