Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the distribution of metastatic lymph nodes (LN) detected on Ga-68-PSMA-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in treatment-naive prostate cancer (PC) patients and to analyze the LN coverage rates of the pelvic fields defined in the GETUG trial and RTOG guidelines and a pelvic field extending superiorly from the L4/L5 interspace.
