This defines the ‘floor’ of expected changes in management based on existing diagnostic tools,” the group wrote. In addition, about 10% of the PSMA-PET patients received advanced systemic therapy and/or stereotactic body radiation due to extraprostatic disease detection versus 1% in the control arm, the group added.
