Evan Y. Yu, MD, associate professor, Department of Medicine, Division of Oncology, Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, discusses the role of PET imaging in prostate cancer.
Clinical Pearls:
Various types of PET imaging can be used to help detect prostate cancer and measure prostate cancer treatment responses
A study that explored sodium fluoride PET as a marker in treatment response with dasatinib showed a longer progression-free survival
PET imaging showed that ARN-509 was hitting its intended target and helped researchers determine the optimal biologic dosing for the agent
Using PET imaging in clinical trials will help researchers get a better understanding the mechanism of action of some novel agents
