Emerging Research in Prostate Cancer Imaging — October 2024

The BiPASS program, which combines 68Ga PSMA PET imaging with prostate MRI prior to the use of prostate biopsy, is slated to be evaluated in an impending phase 3 trial.

For patients with localized prostate cancer, stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) offered comparable freedom from biochemical/clinical failure at eight years and nearly 40 percent lower urinary incontinence in comparison to radical prostatectomy, according to research presented at the ASTRO conference.

For patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer, those with lower apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values on pre-treatment DWI MRI had a fourfold higher prevalence of distant metastasis in a study with a 10.3-year median follow-up.

Magnetic resonance imaging offered a 29 percent higher sensitivity than CT for differentiating liver metastases, but CT provided 12 percent higher sensitivity than MRI for assessing vascular invasion, according to a new 40-study meta-analysis.
