Osseous metastases are a common finding in prostate cancer, usually affecting the central skeleton. Metastases in the peripheral skeleton are less frequent but can occur as isolated findings as well. Therefore, imaging protocols limited to the trunk may miss such lesions and extended range (total-body) PSMA-PET/CT may be helpful for comprehensive evaluation, especially when peripheral metastases are suspected, for example, due to clinical symptoms.
骨转移是前列腺癌的常见表现,通常累及中轴骨骼。外周骨骼转移较少见,但也可单独出现。因此,仅局限于躯干的成像方案可能会遗漏此类病变,而扩展范围(全身)的PSMA-PET/CT可能有助于全面评估,尤其是在怀疑存在外周转移时,例如由于临床症状。
