2026-06EMPIRE-2 · mixedIn 134 patients with recurrence after prostatectomy, randomized between the two tracers, PET changes the radiotherapy decision in 29% (fluciclovine) and 42% (PSMA) of cases, with no significant difference between tracers. Radiation fields change more often with fluciclovine.Radiology ↗
