The expanding role of next-generation imaging in prostate cancer management: a cross-sectional survey exploring the clinical practice of uro-oncologists in North-Eastern Italy; on behalf of GUONE (Gruppo Uro-Oncologico del Nord-Est).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Next-generation imaging (NGI) technologies such as multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and total-body NGI (tbNGI) methodologies including choline, fluciclovine or PSMA positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), whole-body MRI (wbMRI), and PET/MRI are becoming increasingly available, but their use in different prostate cancer (PCa) settings is under debate. The Gruppo Uro-Oncologico del Nord-Est (GUONE) designed a survey to explore the current clinical practice of NGI utilization in a specific macro-region in North-Eastern Italy.

Methods

A cross-sectional survey was conducted by administering an anonymous online multiple-choice questionnaire to uro-oncologists practicing in North-Eastern Italy, using the Google Forms^® platf
