How to use Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen-Positron Emission Tomography/CT in the Management of Relapsing Prostate Cancer Patients following Local Therapy with Curative Intent Webcast (2024)

The learners will understand the following critical clinical aspects with regard to the clinical application of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT; scanning mode of action of PSMA PET/CT; pitfalls of PSMA PET/CT; diagnostic accuracy depending on PSA, PSA double time, prostate cancer histology; application of PSMA PET/CT to identify patients with intrapelvic nodal relapse who will benefit from local therapy such as salvage lymphadenectomy or stereotactic radiation therapy; application of PSMA PET/CT to identify patients with organ-confined radiorecurrent local relapse of prostate cancer who might be candidates for radical salvage prostatectomy; application of new PSMA PET/CT-based clinical staging system as a standardized reporting framework.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  1. Identify the clinical scenario in which PSMA PET/CT is most helpful to identify the localization and extent of locoregional or systemic metastatic disease.
  2. Identify the pitfalls of false-positive and false-negative PSMA PET/CT findings.
  3. Apply the findings of PSMA PET/CT for the best individual therapeutic approach.
  4. Identify patients with radiorecurrent organ-confined prostate cancer.
  5. Identify those patients who are candidates for local therapy of oligometastatic disease in relapsing prostate cancer.
