Single-center, prospective, diagnostic trial in radically treated patients with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer. Patients with radically treated prostate cancer with biochemical relapse and negativity of all traditional morphological and functional imaging (transrectal ultrasound, bone scan, 18F-FMC PET/CT, CT/MRI) or doubtful imaging of 2-deoxy-2-\[fluorine-18\] (18F)-fluoromethylcholine (FMC) PET/CT will receive a Gallio-68 (68Ga)- Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) Positron Emission Tomography (PET)/Computed Tomography (CT) scan.
Single-center, prospective, diagnostic trial. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the sensitivity of 68Ga-PSMA PET /CT defined as the ratio between the number of 68Ga-PSMA PET /CT positive patients and the number of prostate cancer patients with biochemical relapse and negative standard imaging. The secondary objectives are: * Sensitivity for different Prostatic Specific Antigen (PSA) values (ranges) * Sensitivity for different lesion sites * Treatment response assessment with a second PET * False positives detection during Follow Up (FUP) (with other standard methods and eventually optional biopsy) for patient without any treatment * safety 67 evaluable patients will be injected with 100-200 megabecquerel (MBq) 68Ga-PSMA intravenously

Time frame: up to 24 months
Sensitivity for different PSA values (ranges)
Sensitivity of 68Ga- PSMA PET/CT for different PSA values (ranges)
Time frame: up to 24 months
Sensitivity for different lesion sites
Sensitivity of 68Ga- PSMA PET/CT for different lesion sites
Time frame: up to 24 months
PSA decrease: the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves generated by plotting sensitivity versus 1-specificity. Youden's index will be used for determining cut-off value between pos and neg 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT findings
for patients that will start an anticancer treatment: evaluate the predictive role of 68Ga- PSMA PET/CT on early response to therapy (hormonotherapy, abiraterone, enzalutamide) taking PSA decrease as a reference.
Time frame: up to 24 months
Evaluation of the concordance between 68Ga- PSMA PET/CT and PET/CT or the others standard methods, performed by the Cohen's kappa coefficient.
for patient without any treatment: evaluate the concordance between 68Ga- PSMA PET/CT and other standard methods and eventually optional biopsy
