Can PSMA PET improve the primary diagnosis of prostate cancer?

Prostate cancer remains one of the leader causes of cancer-related deaths in men worldwide. Currently, men receive a blood test and a prostate exam to determine if they need further imaging to investigate prostate cancer. I appropriate they receive prostate imaging. If the prostate imaging is suspicious then they will proceed to have a biopsy. Currently the biopsy and the imaging are not that accurate. Fortunately, there is new imaging technologies that is more accurate. In this thesis I will evaluate how accurate this new technology is and how it can be best applied.
