Abstract
68Ga-PMSA PET imaging has revolutionized both diagnosis and radioligand therapy selection in patients with metastatic prostate cancer. We report the case of a 63-year-old man with prostate adenocarcinoma who underwent radical prostatectomy followed by radiation therapy and ADT. Found to have rising PSA levels and referred for 68Ga- PSMA PET/CT for restaging. 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT showed multiple suspicious 68Ga-PSMA PSMA avid mediastinal lymph nodes and an avid lesion in the right lower anterior abdominal wall; suspicious for metastasis. Ultrasonography guided biopsy showed metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma. In our cases, 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT identified the unexpected metastatic site which leads to change patient management and potentially improving patient outcome.
期刊介绍：
Primarily being a medical journal, JPMA publishes scholarly research focusing on the various fields in the areas of health and medical education. It publishes original research describing recent advances in health particularly clinical studies, clinical trials, assessments of pathogens of diagnostic importance, medical genetics and epidemiological studies. Review articles highlighting importance of various issues in the domain of public health, drug research and medical education are also accepted. As a leading journal of South Asia, JPMA remains cognizant of the recent advances in the rapidly growing fields of biomedical sciences, it invites and encourages scholars to write short reviews and invited editorials on the emerging issues. We particularly aim to promote health standards of developing countries by encouraging manuscript submissions on issues affecting the public health and health delivery services.
