Should I get PSMA/PET + Nano-MRI if my nodal met risk is 7.4% according to Briganti nomogram?

M59, Gleason4+3, T2C, PSA7.8

According to the Briganti nomogram I have 7.4% risk for nodal metastases.

Nano-MRI can detect mets down to 2 mm in lymph nodes.

Current CT scans and MRIs don't show any mets outside prostate, but they are not as good as PSMA/PET+Nano-MRI combo.

Question is, is it worth it doing this?

Would you do it?

Seems like analysis paralysis is taking hold...
