Özet

Background and aim: Gallium-68 (68Ga)-Prostate Membrane Specific Antigen Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (68Ga-PSMA PET/CT) is an emerging diagnostic modality which is gaining importance in individualized prostate cancer (PCa) management era. This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of Ga-68-PSMA PET/CT on primary LN staging before radical prostatectomy (RP) in intermediate and high risk PCa.
