The role of imaging before salvage treatment of recurrent prostate cancer is controversial. Knowledge of site-specific recurrence obtained from novel imaging techniques such as prostate-specific membrane antigen-based positron emission tomography/computed tomography might provide information on the benefit of imaging before salvage therapies.
在挽救性治疗复发性前列腺癌之前进行影像学检查的作用存在争议。从基于前列腺特异性膜抗原的正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描等新型影像学技术获得的特定部位复发的知识可能为挽救性治疗前进行影像学检查的获益提供信息。
