The differences in treatment setting are associational and are likely influenced by confounding by indication and not treatment effects.

A 5-year OS rate of 97.1% was observed among patients who received PSMA PET/CT restaging at first biochemical recurrence following prostatectomy.

Because there are so many options available for treating DCIS, the chosen method is often based on the patient's preferences, said Jean L. Wright, MD, FASTRO.
