Early Detection of Metastatic Prostate Cancer Relapse on 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT in a Patient Still Exhibiting Biochemical Response

Abstract Prostate cancer (PCa) treatment monitoring usually relies on prostate-specific antigen to detect disease progression or relapse. PET/CT with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligands has shown high accuracy in detecting metastatic PCa lesions and could help assess response to therapy. We describe herein the early relapse detection of a hormone-sensitive metastatic upfront PCa treated with docetaxel on 68 Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT before biochemical progression. PSMA PET/CT should be considered to monitor PCa response to chemotherapy to detect early relapse, regardless of prostate-specific antigen levels, increasing the chances of finding low-volume oligoprogressive disease.
