Presence of metastatic disease on 68Ga-PSMA PET is associated with earlier biochemical recurrence.

Caption

Left: Maximum intensity projection of 68Ga-PSMA PET in a patient with newly diagnosed prostate cancer shows intense uptake in the primary prostate lesion and focal uptake in multiple lymph nodes consistent with metastatic disease. Right: Kaplan–Meier curves show that high uptake and presence of metastatic disease on PET are associated with earlier biochemical recurrence.
