Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy in men worldwide, with an estimated 174,650 new cases per year in the United States, and the second cancer-related cause of death, after lung cancer, with 31,620 deaths per year. While the 5 year survival rate for prostate cancer in patients without metastatic spread is nearly 100%, those with distant metastases have 5 year survival rates of approximately 30%. Initial diagnosis and assessment are based on PSA levels, Gleason score (derived from prostate biopsy), and advanced imaging modalities, including prostate MR imaging and PSMA-PET/computed tomography in patients with high-risk features.
