RESULTS: F-DCFPYL PET/CT IN HIGH-RISK PCA
(COHORT A)
• 18 F-DCFPyL demonstrated high PPV, NPV, and specificity → highly informative
for staging, directly informing initial Tx planning
• When micro-metastatic lymph nodes <5 mm excluded based on pathology:
• Sensitivity increased by ~15-20% and NPV by ~10%
• High specificity and PPV were preserved
