Exploratory cost-effectiveness analysis of 68Gallium-PSMA PET/MRI-based imaging in patients with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer

Men treated for prostate cancer with curative intent face a recurrence rate of up to 53% at 10 years. 68Ga-PSMA imaging is a new technique that can more accurately stage cancer recurrences and facilitate personalised treatment. We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of 68Ga-PSMA PET/MRI for staging men with prostate cancer biochemical recurrence. A cost-effectiveness analysis using a decision-analytic model with Markov chains was constructed....
