PCWG3 (Prostate Cancer Working Group 3) and Oncology Imaging Endpoints
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancer types in men. With bone as a frequent metastatic site, response assessments for prostate cancer have additional considerations beyond RECIST 1.1. In this recorded webinar, MERIT outlines the fundamentals of PCWG3 response criteria, data collection, and response assessment using PSMA scan in prostate cancer.
3 key questions
that are answered:
- Which imaging modalities are used for prostate cancer assessment?
- What are the fundamentals of PCWG3 response criteria and data collection?
- How is PSMA being used for newer imaging modalities and response assessments?
