The Use and Advantage of E-PSMA: The EANM Standardized Reporting Guideline v1.0 in Different Prostate Cancer Patients

The Use and Advantage of E-PSMA: The EANM Standardized Reporting Guideline v1.0 in Different Prostate Cancer Patients

Imaging plays an important role in the evaluation of prostate cancer patients. In recent years, much attention has been focused on 68Ga-PSMA PET-CT in prostate cancer patients and has been widely used for staging, especially biochemical relapse-restaging and therapy response for these patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate 68 Ga PSMA PET-CT imaging in initial staging-first line imaging of prostate cancer from low to high risk patients based on standard reporting system with E PSMA molecular staging.
