Unmet Needs and Clinical Challenges for PSMA Imaging
Author(s)Oliver Sartor, MD
Key Takeaways
- Standardized imaging protocols and interpretation criteria are essential for consistent PSMA imaging results across clinical settings.
- Robust data on the impact of PSMA imaging on patient outcomes is needed to guide treatment decisions effectively.
Oliver Sartor, MD, discusses how unmet needs and clinical challenges for PSMA imaging in prostate cancer patients include standardizing interpretation criteria, addressing false negatives in certain tumor phenotypes, improving accessibility and cost-effectiveness, and developing strategies for patients with low PSMA expression or PSMA-negative disease.
