Brief summary: In our study, the investigators want to find correlation between circulating miRNAs associated with prostate cancer metastases to bones and to lymph nodes separately with results of 68Ga-PSMA ligand PET (positron emission computed) imaging.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Proven Adeno-carcinoma

* Refered to PSMA exam.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Below 18 years old
* HIV/HBV (hepatitis B virus)/HCV (hepatitis C virus) positive
* Additional malignancy during the past five years.

Primary outcomes:
measure: Metastasis size and location
timeFrame: 18 months
Secondary outcomes:
measure: MicroRNA profile by using Nano-string technology validated by real time PCR
timeFrame: 24 months
