The relationship between 68Ga-PSMA uptake and Gleason Score and PSA levels in patients with prostate cancer

Aim: PSMA expression has been observed in increased levels patients with high Gleason scores. Current information on Ga-68 PET/CT shows that primary staging is important high-risk PC. may also have a place intermediate risk PC, but only few data are available at present. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the relationship between value prostate gland, total PSA and GS diagnosed cancer.
 Material Method: A of 98 who were pathologically cancer did not receive any treatment underwent Ga‐68 imaging for included study. Findings detected categorized as prostate, lymph node, bone, visceral organ. The focal values ​​observed gland recorded SUVmax. divided into two separate groups according their score (GS>7 GS≤7). Correlations SUVmax, scores investigated.
 Results: SUVmax group >7 found be significantly higher than ≤7 (p=0.03). rates node metastasis, bone metastasis organ metastases compared ≤7. positive correlation was Total (r=0.260, p=0.01). (r=0.320, p=0.001).
 Conclusion: conclusion, score. There PSA. Clinicians should careful regard, possibility will
