Hot needles can confirm accurate lesion sampling intraoperatively using [18F]PSMA-1007 PET/CT-guided biopsy in patients with suspected prostate cancer

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted PET is increasingly used for staging prostate cancer (PCa) with high accuracy to detect significant PCa (sigPCa). [68 Ga]PSMA-11 PET/MRI-guided biopsy showed promising results but also persisting limitation of sampling error, due to impaired image fusion. We aimed to assess the possibility of intraoperative quantification of [18F]PSMA-1007 PET/CT uptake in core biopsies as an instant...
