This analysis compares staging accuracy of multiparametric MR imaging and PSMA PET-CT in prostate cancer, indicating their significant roles in assessing lymph-node metastasis.
Key Points
No significant correlation exists between MpMRI and PSMA PET-CT findings and final pathology results regarding extraprostatic extension.
Both imaging techniques significantly correlate with final pathology for evaluating pelvic lymph-node metastasis and seminal vesicle invasion.
Data was collected from prostate cancer patients between June 2020 and November 2022, with comparisons made pre- and post-biopsy.
Future research may clarify the limitations and benefits of these imaging techniques and their roles in predicting surgical margin positivity.
