The authors performed a retrospective study on 125 patients who experienced a biochemical relapse following radical prostatectomy (RP) and who were subjected to a PSMA-PET/CT in order to assess if the recurrent cancer foci were located within standard radiation target volumes. 1 Boreta L Gadzinski A Wu S et al. Location of recurrence by Gallium-68 PSMA-11 PET scan in prostate cancer patients eligible for salvage radiotherapy. Urology. 2019; 129: 158-164 Google Scholar According to their data, 53% of the patients demonstrated PSMA-positive foci of which 25 lesions were located outside of the small pelvis.
