Objective To determine the value of gallium‐68‐prostate‐specific membrane antigen (68Ga‐PSMA)‐11 positron emission tomography (PET) /computed tomography (CT) in men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer. Patients and methods We analysed results of 140 men with intermediate‐ and high‐risk prostate can...
