Abstract
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) produces strikingly superior images compared to conventional imaging, raising the important question of whether conventional imaging is sufficiently accurate to guide patient management. Reducing false positive results with consequent improvement in accuracy is not stage migration and PSMA PET/CT can be a successor to conventional imaging in the staging of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.
