Key Points

The aim is to assess how PSMA PET/CT influences staging and planning for radiation therapy in prostate cancer.
Analyzed the integration of PSMA PET/CT into staging protocols.
Evaluated changes in treatment volumes (TVs) and dosimetry based on PSMA imaging.
PSMA PET/CT significantly improved staging accuracy.
Altered treatment plans based on more precise dosimetry measurements.

Implication

Demonstrates improved staging and treatment planning in prostate cancer, suggesting enhanced accuracy with PSMA PET/CT.

Abstract

PSMA PET/CT meaningfully changes staging, TVs, and dosimetry. It highlights the modality's value in improving accuracy in definitive RT planning.
