| Abstract |
To show the initial (first-year) experience with 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT at a clinic in Brazil. Over a one-year period, 96 examinations with 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT (85 related to prostate cancer and 11 related to kidney cancer) were performed in 90 patients. In the prostate and kidney cancer patients alike, the main clinical indication for 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT was suspicion of recurrence during follow-up (in 65.8% and 63.0% of the cases, respectively). Among the prostate cancer patients, 38.5% of those with a prostate specific antigen (PSA) < 0.5 ng/mL tested positive for recurrence on 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT, compared with 71.0% of those with a PSA of 0.5-0.99, 85.7% of those with a PSA of 1.0-1.99, and 92.6% of those with a PSA > 1.99. Although 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT is a technique that has only recently been applied in clinical settings, despite its high cost, 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT shows great promise as a tool in the clinical management of patients with kidney and prostate cancer, especially in those with prostate cancer whose PSA levels are elevated even after treatment. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 July 2018.
All research outputs
#17,242,285
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Radiologia Brasileira
#140
of 394 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#221,299
of 344,093 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Radiologia Brasileira
#1
of 2 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 394 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.1. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 344,093 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 2 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
