In the phase 3 PACE-A trial, SBRT and prostatectomy showed similar 8-year disease control in localized prostate cancer, with lower rates of urinary incontinence after SBRT.
Using PSMA-PET imaging and genomic testing to obtain better information earlier in the disease course changes what clinicians can do with diagnosis and treatment planning.
The registrational study is designed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of 68Ga-DOTA-RM2 vs histopathology in prostate cancer.
A limited market release of SpaceOAR Flex is expected to begin in the US later this year.
