Abstract
Nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) presents a challenge to urologists as currently there are no Food and Drug Administration-approved therapies. However, there are new imaging modalities, including fluciclovine positron emission tomography-computed tomography and Ga-PSMA (prostate specific membrane antigent) positron emission tomography-computed tomography, which are improving accuracy of diagnosis. With improved imaging, we are better able to target therapy. Today there are 3 ongoing clinical trials studying second-generation antiandrogens in nmCRPC, which hold the promise of a new treatment paradigm. In this article, we will review the new imaging techniques and the rationale behind novel treatment modalities in nmCRPC.
