Because the Technology, PSMA pet, Is unable to see metastasis smaller than around 2 mm and in some cases even 5 mm, they frequently cannot find a metastasis when somebody has BCR.
We frequently hear that a pet scan is done and nothing could be found.
In that case, the most likely place for a metastasis is in the prostate bed. It is not always right, But that location is the best bet they have at this time.
The reason that location is most likely is because the prostate is near there and if the cancer gets out of the prostate, that is the closest spot to get to.
