  • Eight of the 14 patients showed PSMA-positive lesions with 89Zr-PSMA-DFO. In 6 patients, the PSMA-negative interpretation from PET-1 was confirmed by the 89Zr-PSMA-DFO PET-2. The location of each PSMA-positive lesion detected with 89Zr-PSMA-DFO is described for each patient.

  • dtPSA = doubling time of PSA; iPSA = initial PSA; l.n. = lymph node; NA = not available; RPE = radical prostatectomy; RT = radiotherapy.
