[18F]DCFPyL PET/CT has a high detection rate in recurrence following RP even at low PSA levels with similar detection levels in the PSA subgroups < 0.5 ng/mL. Employing rigid PSA thresholds when constructing guidelines for PSMA PET/CT funding eligibility may result in a significant number of patients below such thresholds having delayed or inappropriate treatment.
