Abstract

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) radioguided surgery leads to a substantial prostate-specific antigen (PSA) reduction in the vast majority of patients with recurrent prostate cancer. A low PSA value and the presence of only one lesion on preoperative imaging with PSMA-ligand positron emission tomography are prognostic factors for a better outcome.
