Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV) of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT for the detection of (regional) lymph node metastases in the initial staging of intermediate-to high risk PCa patients. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| a. Diagnostic accuracy (specificity, PPV) of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT for the detection of distant (bone) metastases. b. Diagnostic accuracy of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT in staging of the primary tumor in the radical prostatectomy specimen. c. Diagnostic accuracy of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT for different risk groups (according to the d¡¯Amico classification ¨C see chapter 5.1.3), nomogram risk scores, and the size of malignant lymph nodes. d. Diagnostic performance of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT versus conventional imaging (skeletal scintigraphy, MRI of the prostate) in detection of local tumor site and metastases. e. Change of management induced by 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT findings specifically. f. Cost-effectiveness of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT versus (super)extended PLND (e.g. mean hospital length of stay, morbidity-associated costs) for the detection of (regional) LNMs. | — |
