DISCUSSIONAlthough 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT is indicated primarily for staging of patients with biopsy-proven high-risk PCa, real-life experience indicates that elderly patients are occasionally referred for imaging on the basis of high clinical suspicion alone without prior histopathologic confirmation of PCa. This single-center retrospective study explored this practice among elderly patients and found it to occur in around one third of patients at least 80 y old.
