METHODS: Patients with biopsy-proven intermediate or high-risk CaP who were potential candidates for radical prostatectomy (RP) were prospectively enrolled in the study. Each patient underwent 68Ga-PSMA-PET/CT and mpMRI for staging workup prior to RP. After RP, taking HPE as the gold standard, performance of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT and mpMRI were compared in determining lymph node involvement. RESULTS: 92 CaP patients (57 intermediate risk and 35 high risk) were included in the study (Table 1). Out of 92 patients, the post-RP HPE confirmed regional lymph node involvement in 8 patients, amongst which ⁶⁸Ga-PSMA-PET/CT was positive for 7 and mpMRI was positive for 2. The results show that 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT has a higher sensitivity, specificity, Negative predictive value (NPV), Positive predictive value (PPV), and accuracy (87.50%, 97.60%, 77.80%, 98.80%, 96.70%) than mpMRI (40%, 93.10%, 96.40%, 25%, 90.21%) for the detection of lymph node metastasis (Tables 2, 3, Figure 1). This means that 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT is more likely to correctly identify patients with lymph node metastasis and less likely to produce false positives or false negatives. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT is a superior imaging modality to mpMRI for the detection of lymph node metastasis in intermediate and high risk prostate cancer patients.
