A picture is worth a thousand words

It's important to find out your PSMA status because if, like most men with prostate cancer, you are PSMA+, a PSMA-PET scan can show if and where cancer has spread in your body.

Understanding PSMA 

PSMA is found on prostate cancer cells. It can also be found on normal cells, but its levels are up to 1000 times higher in cancer cells.

PSMA can show you the bigger picture of your prostate cancer

Because the PSMA biomarker is found on cancer cells no matter where they have spread in your body, it can identify cancer that has spread beyond your prostate. PSMA is therefore important for detection, monitoring and treatment selection.

Taking a PSMA test called a PSMA-PET scan can tell you two things:

• If and where cancer has spread

• What treatment options may be appropriate

What will finding out my PSMA status tell me?

Taking a PSMA test called a PSMA-PET scan will tell you if you are PSMA+. Most men with prostate cancer are. If you are PSMA+, your doctor can use PSMA to guide your care.
