Role of cytoreductive radical prostatectomy in men with oligometastatic prostate cancer on molecular imaging.

The implementation of PET with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) tracer as primary staging tool occurred recently. Since its introduction, a novel category of patients emerged, with negative staging at conventional imaging, and positive molecular imaging. Local treatment in these patients might be associated with improved oncological outcomes when combined with systemic therapy. However, its impact on oligometastatic prostate cancer (omPCa) remains unknown. In this review, we aimed at investigating the role of cytoreductive radical prostatectomy (cRP) in oligometastatic disease at molecular imaging.
