CME Available: cme.auanet.org/URL/FOCUS262ONL
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
After participating in this CME activity, participants will be able to:
- Critically appraise recent developments in imaging biomarkers and molecular diagnostics (e.g., genomic risk scores, liquid biopsy) and discuss how they complement MRI and PSMA PET in prostate cancer care.
- Determine the optimal clinical scenarios (diagnostic, staging, recurrence, surveillance) in which PSMA PET/CT or PET/MRI adds value beyond conventional imaging.
- Recognize potential pitfalls in PSMA PET interpretation — including false positives, false negatives, non–PSMA-expressing disease, and technical artifacts — and implement strategies to mitigate them.
- Synthesize biomarker, MRI, and PSMA PET findings into a personalized management plan, including guiding biopsy, focal therapy, salvage therapy, or systemic treatments.
- Select appropriate patients with radiorecurrent or organ-confined prostate cancer for advanced imaging and guide re-treatment decisions (e.g., salvage therapy, targeted radiotherapy).
