I’m a little uncertain about what you are. saying
“ PSMA-PET scans and proton-beam radiation are two examples of expensive technology that looks far superior on paper, but has failed so far to demonstrate improved longer-term outcomes”
PSMA PET scans and proton radiation do two totally different things. PET scans aren’t a long-term procedure, You do them again as time goes on.
Did you mean to say Pluvicto and proton radiation?

@jeffmarc Sorry for the confusion. No, they're two separate examples of things that are technically superior, but have not (yet) been able to denonstrate improved medium-/long-term outcomes for most prostate-cancer patients.
