In the recently published SPARC grading scale for PSMA PET, equivocal nodes on PSMA PET classified as
- Low uptake (Equal to or lower than blood pool) in a site typical for prostate cancer or intermediate to high uptake (Equal to or lower than parotid gland and higher than liver, or higher than parotid) in a site atypical for prostate cancer
At our facility, IR usually is not able to biopsy these nodes when they're small.
Do you use a similar grading scale? Do you attempt to biopsy nodes typically?
What SUV parameters do you use to decide if treatment is warranted for node positive disease?
