Prostate-specific Membrane Antigen Positron Emission Tomography in the Staging of Newly Diagnosed Prostate Cancer: Is More Sensitivity Always Better?

Abstract

Higher diagnostic accuracy, even if desirable, is not automatically associated with better outcomes. If used in settings validated with less sensitive imaging modalities, it is of paramount importance to prospectively ascertain that the higher sensitivity of prostate-specific antigen membrane-based imaging will benefit patients, and will probably not do harm.
