Biochemical Reoccurrence
High Risk Prostate Cancer
Patients with biochemical reoccurrence (post-prostatectomy or post radical radiotherapy) or patients with biochemical relapse with rising PSA in spite of taking hormone treatment (this situation is characterized as non-metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer M0CRPC) and compare it to bone scan and CT in 2 groups: PSA >= 0.2 ng/mL and <= 0.5 ng/mL or PSA > 0.5 ng/ml
Patients with high risk prostate cancer who have not received any definitive treatment. These high-risk patients are defined using the D'Amico Classification System: Those with a PSA of more than 20, or a Gleason score equal to or greater than 8, or have a clinical stage greater than T2c.
