Performance of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT in Metastatic Prostate Cancers at the Time of Diagnosis and Correlation with Obesity

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Objective: Ga-PSMA PET/CT) quantitative parameters and patient obesity, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, and metastasis type in prostate cancer. Methods: 8Ga-PSMA PET/CT imaging for staging purposes, with locoregional or distant metastasis detected in the imaging results. Results: values (p=0.035, 0.037, 0.012, 0.028, respectively). Conclusion: PSA levels may assist in estimating whether metastases are local or distant. However, due to the weak inverse correlation between BMI and PSA, it is important that low PSA levels may not necessarily indicate localized disease during clinical evaluation.
