Agreed. I trust that the urologist understands the need to for FDG given the absense of a PSA indicator. PSMA/PET always includes FDG at UCLA.

Yes, when prostate cancers produce PSMA, then PSMA PET scans soundly out-perform older scans (like F18-Fluciclovine, C11 Choline, F18-NaF, and F18-FDG).
But, in those few instances when prostate cancers produce no PSMA (or too little to be detected), then any of those other scans are very useful.
