This is informative....progress toward better risk stratification and individual treatment planning? I suppose will require more validation before available to public.

Why don't you copy and paste so we can see it. Seems to be paywalled or something

Here you go. No paywall here.

This is a link to the actual nomogram into which you can input your data and see the projected outcome.

Our PSMA PET/CT upstaging risk calculator is for patients newly diagnosed with high-risk/very high-risk prostate cancer. High-risk/very high-risk prostate cancer is defined by the NCCN as one or more of the following:

Clinical stage T3a or above

Gleason score 8 or above

PSA >20 ng/mL

This calculator is intended for patients with no lymph node involvement and no metastasis (cN0M0) after going through conventional imaging techniques such as prostate MRI, CT abdomen/pelvis and/or bone scan. This nomogram predicts the risk of discovering prostate cancer in the regional pelvic lymph nodes (nodal upstaging), outside the pelvis (metastatic upstaging) or either (overall upstaging) should the patient undergo PSMA PET/CT scan. This nomogram draws on data from patients who previously undergone PSMA PET/CT scan at UCLA.

Please discuss with your physician regarding how to interpret the results before making treatment decisions.

cesces -

Thanks for digging that up...just curious...how did you find it? Maybe a method that will help with my future research results?

[cesces in reply to maley2711]

Don't know how I did it. LoL

[maley2711]

I'll try a simple Google search?

[Atlpapa]

If the calculator is intended for patients with no lymph node involvement and no metastasis won't that exclude almost everyone in this advanced prostate cancer forum?
