and aim. Most of the patients with biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy undergo salvage radiotherapy without guidance from imaging. In recent years, there has been an increasing role of Gallium-68 prostate specific membrane antigen (68Ga-PSMA) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging in the management of prostate cancer. This study aimed to investigate diagnostic performance of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT in patients with biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy. ⋯ 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT is an effective tool for the early detection of oligometastatic lesions in recurrent prostate cancer.

Currently, prostate biopsy remains the main method used to diagnose prostate cancer (PCa). The indication for the procedure is an elevated level of the serum level of the total prostate-specific antigen (PSA). ⋯ Additional tests have been developed aimed to improve the diagnostic performance of PSA for detecting PCa. They include PSA derivatives such as free PSA fraction, -2proPSA, PSA density, PHI and the free /total PSA fraction.
