| Abstract | ||
| Prostate cancer represents a significant global health concern, ranking as the second most prevalent male malignancy after lung cancer. In the past two decades, there has been a notable shift in focus toward the diagnostic significance of systematic screening and early detection programs, including serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing has led to a marked reduction in the incidence of advanced-stage progression in prostate cancer (PCa) at the time of diagnosis. The Gleason grading system of PCa assigns a score based on how closely the prostate tissue resembles normal glandular structures under a microscope. As for imaging, while transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided biopsy and MRI have proven useful in prostate cancer, Prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) Computed tomography (CT), a.k.a PSMA-PET CT is currently on the rise regarding localization of metabolically active prostatic tissue to guide TRUS guided sampling procedures. Aim: The aim of this work was to assess the diagnostic value of TRUS guided prostate biopsy compared to PSMA PET/CT in detection of prostate cancer in residual/recurrent disease. | ||
