PSMA PET/MRI can successfully determine the risk of prostate cancer recurrence

In men recently diagnosed with intermediate or high-grade prostate cancer, prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/MRI can successfully determine whether their cancer is likely to return within two years of a prostatectomy.
