Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
True Positive Rate for Detection of Tumor Location in Lymph Nodes Confirmed by Histopathology/Biopsy, Clinical and Conventional Imaging Follow-up
The true positive rate or detection rate (sensitivity) is defined as the proportion of all participants who have prostate cancer detected in the lymph nodes using Ga68-PSMA-11, where disease location is also confirmed by histopathology/biopsy, clinical and conventional imaging follow-up. Corresponding two-sided 95% confidence intervals will be constructed using the Wilson score method.
True Positive Rate for Detection of Tumor Location in Visceral Tissue Confirmed by Histopathology/Biopsy, Clinical and Conventional Imaging Follow-up
The true positive rate or detection rate (sensitivity) is defined as the proportion of all participants who have prostate cancer detected in the visceral tissue using Ga68-PSMA-11, where disease location is also confirmed by histopathology/biopsy, clinical and conventional imaging follow-up. Corresponding two-sided 95% confidence intervals will be constructed using the Wilson score method.
True Positive Rate for Detection of Tumor Location in Bone Tissue Confirmed by Histopathology/Biopsy, Clinical and Conventional Imaging Follow-up
The true positive rate or detection rate (sensitivity) is defined as the proportion of all participants who have prostate cancer detected in the bone tissue using Ga68-PSMA-11, where disease location is also confirmed by histopathology/biopsy, clinical and conventional imaging follow-up. Corresponding two-sided 95% confidence intervals will be constructed using the Wilson score method.
True Positive Rate for Detection of Tumor Location in Prostate Bed Confirmed by Histopathology/Biopsy, Clinical and Conventional Imaging Follow-up
The true positive rate or detection rate (sensitivity) is defined as the proportion of all participants who have prostate cancer detected in the prostate bed using Ga68-PSMA-11, where disease location is also confirmed by histopathology/biopsy, clinical and conventional imaging follow-up.

Percentage of participants with a change in clinical management will be reported using descriptive statistics based on qualitative physician responses from the change in management surveys.
