The incidence of prostate cancer is rising and
resulting mortality rates remain significant14,15

Approximately 248,530 new prostate cancer cases will be diagnosed in 2021

new prostate cancer cases will be diagnosed in 202214,15

Approximately 34,130 PCa deaths will occur in 2021

deaths will occur in 2022 due to PCa, the second leading cause of cancer death in American men14,15

Accurate initial assessment of a patient's disease is critical because high-risk PCa is more likely to be advanced at diagnosis and/or relapse than low-risk PCa11,16,17

5-year relative survival rate for patients diagnosed with localized prostate cancer approaches 100%, however, if distant metastasis is present at the time of diagnosis, the 5-year survival rate has been reported to be 32%18

Standard imaging offers limited accuracy in PCa assessment, potentially compromising therapeutic decision-making19,20

  • Although bone scans and CT scans can detect bone metastases, they lack sensitivity for early lesion detection5
  • Standard imaging offers limited utility in detecting recurrent lesions at PSA levels <1.0 ng/mL21
  • CT scans and MRIs depend on size to detect lesions, and are therefore less likely to detect metastatic tumors between 4 mm and 8 mm5,12
  • Bone remodeling in response to treatment may lead to false positives on MRI images5

PET imaging§ has the potential to improve disease localization compared to standard imaging, thus enhancing therapeutic decision-making19,20,22

§With an appropriate tracer and combined with CT or MRI.


  • PSMA PET/CT can detect lesions between 4 mm and 8 mm, and therefore has a higher detection rate5,12
    • Because up to 80% of nodal metastases in PCa are smaller than 8 mm in size, PSMA PET/CT is a promising imaging modality5
  • PSMA PET/CT is also effective at lower PSA levels; the rate of detection of nodal metastases has been reported to be 46% when PSA was <0.2 ng/mL5

INDICATION & IMPORTANT
SAFETY INFORMATION

PYLARIFY® (piflufolastat F 18) Injection is a radioactive diagnostic agent indicated for positron emission tomography (PET) of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive lesions in men with prostate cancer:

  • with suspected metastasis who are candidates for initial definitive therapy.
  • with suspected recurrence based on elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level.
