How does a diffusely positive PSMA in the prostate affect treatment planning in a patient with MRI and biopsy showing only one area of disease?
Would you consider repeating a biopsy?
Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Academic Institution
There are three parts to my answer:
First, mild to moderate PSMA uptake can be seen in benign conditions, including BPH and prostatitis (e.g., reviewed by Satapathy et al., PMID 32755196).
Second, I don't see how the discrepancy between PSMA PET and MRI/biopsy would affect radiation treatment plan...
