Abstract

Even though prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography (CT) is more accurate than conventional imaging in prostate cancer patients, its impact on patient-relevant outcomes is unknown. We argue that more evidence is required before using PSMA-PET-CT as the standard of care for staging.
