Description
Summary:Abstract Prostate cancer is the second most frequent cancer type among men worldwide. With the development of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine technologies, early diagnosis is increasingly common, and the possibility of using new minimally invasive techniques increases. With a narrative review of the literature, this case report describes an alternative radioisotope-guided laparoscopy technique for tumors in the peritoneal cavity. There may be benefits in associating nuclear medicine techniques in the management of patients with non-palpable tumors that are difficult to locate in the peritoneal cavity, enabling the use of less invasive and safer surgical procedures for diagnosis, staging and treatment.
