A Novel Approach to Improve Detection of Metastatic and Recurrent Prostate Cancer
Produced in collaboration with ZERO Prostate Cancer
This patient education program is sponsored by Blue Earth Diagnostics and Telix Pharmaceuticals.
There are many reasons for renewed hope among patients diagnosed with prostate cancer. Over the past few decades, mortality rates have declined, due in part to recent advances in diagnostics and therapeutics. In addition, PSMA (prostate-specific membrane antigen), a key biomarker for advanced prostate cancer, is overexpressed in more than 80% of men with prostate cancer and could be significant in improving the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of patients.
Watch a panel of urology/oncology clinicians and patient advocates discuss the diagnostic and treatment options for patients with prostate cancer. Experts explain the differences between PSMA and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and review innovative molecular-imaging techniques that have the potential to provide greater accuracy and personalization of treatment. Panelists explore how advanced imaging can be used to determine staging and localization, detect lesions in recurrence, monitor treatment, and stratify risk in metastatic disease.
Topics to be discussed include:
- Metastatic vs recurrent prostate cancer
- The rationale for radiotracers
- Phenotypic vs genotypic biomarkers
- Why does PSMA-expression level matter?
- What does PSMA-positivity mean?
- When to consider advanced imaging
- Locating imaging centers
- Preparations for advanced imaging
