Multi-institutional Evaluation of the Cost-effectiveness of PSMA-PET/CT for the Detection of Pelvic Lymph Node Invasion in Newly Diagnosed Prostate Cancer Patients (PSMA-SELECT).

Brief Summary

To determine if the use of Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen Positron Emission Computer Tomography (PSMA PET/CT) as a selection tool for performing extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) for prostate cancer (PCa) in the primary staging setting results in fewer ePLND procedures and therefore lower overall healthcare costs, lower patient burden in terms of intervention-related complications and morbidity, with comparable (non-inferior) disease prognosis, compared to the current European Guideline-recommended standard practice which includes performing ePLND in PCa patients who are candidates for active treatment with a nomogram-calculated lymph node involvement (LNI) risk >5%.

Biochemical recurrence rate within two years after surgery, defined as a PSA > 0.2 ng/ml.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
- Total number of ePLNDs and PSMA PET/CTs performed and their intervention-related healthcare costs, costs of complication-related interventions and associated (prolonged) hospital stay. - Biochemical persistence, defined as PSA >0.1 within half a year after surgery - Surgical complications within 6 months after surgery. - Total nodes resected on ePLND and number of positive and negative nodes within and outside of the standard ePLND template. The necessity for a second PSMA PET / CT.
