Abstract
Prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) scanning is a sensitive method of prostate cancer detection. In a 71Â y.o. man with a PSA of 49 (6%F), 4 negative MRI studies and 6 negative biopsies over an 8Â year interval, a 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT scan showed a PSMA-avid spot in the prostate. Using image fusion technology, the lesion was target-biopsied and Gleason 3Â +Â 4Â =Â 7 (cancer core length of 12Â mm) was identified. This case may herald a new application for PSMA scanning and prostate cancer imaging.
