In prostate cancer, disease progression after primary treatment and subsequent androgen deprivation therapy is common. Intensification of systemic treatment is the standard of care. Recently, 68Ga prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (PSMA-PET) imaging was introduced to identify oligometastatic prostate cancer patients.

Prostate cancer is the most common solid organ malignancy in men. Despite the implementation of PSA screening, the incidence of metastatic prostate cancer in Spain is still around 4%. In this clinical scenario, systemic treatment is the gold standard.

The Malaysian Advanced Prostate Cancer Consensus Conference (MyAPCCC 2018) was held to discuss the generalisability of consensus from the Advanced Prostate Cancer Consensus Conference (APCCC 2017) in Malaysia, a middle-income country.

Since the introduction of anatomical and functional imaging with multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging and choline or prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography-computed tomography, we are able to diagnose a previously unknown disease, the oligometastatic prostate cancer after local therapy.

It is generally accepted that when metastases develop in a patient with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer (PCa), they follow a centrifuge pattern of seeding from the pelvis and that most patients enter the disease as oligometastatic.

To investigate the efficacy and toxicity of 68Ga-PSMA-HBED-CC ((68)Ga-PSMA) PET-CT-guided RT in the treatment of oligometastatic prostate cancer retrospectively.

A total of 23 prostate cancer patients with biochemical relapse, of which 13 were castration sensitive (CS) and 10 castration resistant (CR), were treated with intensity-modulated and image-guided RT (IMRT-IGRT) on ≤3 metastases detected by (68)Ga PSMA PET-CT.
