How reliably can multiparametric MRI distinguish benign residual prostate tissue from local tumor recurrence after prostatectomy?

Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) is a valuable, often first-line imaging tool to distinguish benign residual prostate tissue, post‑operative fibrosis, and local tumor recurrence after radical prostatectomy...

What is the comparative performance of mpMRI versus PSMA PET/CT for localizing prostate cancer recurrence in the prostatectomy bed?

For localizing prostate cancer recurrence specifically within the prostatectomy bed, multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) remains the favored tool for high-resolution anatomic localization while PSMA PET/CT ad...

How do PSA level and PSA doubling time influence the sensitivity of mpMRI for detecting local recurrence after prostatectomy?

Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) is a powerful tool for localizing recurrence after radical prostatectomy, but its sensitivity is strongly influenced by the absolute PSA at biochemical recurrence and by PS...

How soon after prostatectomy should PSA be tested to detect biochemical recurrence?

After radical prostatectomy, PSA is expected to fall to undetectable levels within weeks to months, and guidelines generally advise the first postoperative PSA check at about 6–8 weeks; thereafter mos...

What randomized trials are underway testing PSMA PET–guided salvage radiotherapy and when will results be reported?

Three categories of randomized trials are actively testing whether PSMA PET–guided changes to salvage radiotherapy improve outcomes: a completed/phase‑II randomized study reported in meetings with a f...
