UCLA urologist Robert Reiter, MD, discusses Ga-PSMA PET CT, a new method for detection and visualization of metastatic prostate cancer not previously visible with conventional and molecular imaging techniques. *Ga-PSMA PET CT is now offered at UCLA and aims to improve management of recurrent and high-risk cancers.

Excellent presentation

I think you got the definition of specificity at the 19:50 mark wrong! A specificity of 99% would mean that in a negative test 99% of patients are actually disease free. So it would exclude the presence of metastasis in this case.

Could the PSMA PET scan be used to rule out a biopsy if a patient with BPH is detected with an elevated total PSA in the range of 7.9 and a free PSA of about 16%?

No, it cannot, you need a Biopsy if you have these conditions.

My urologist told me I had prostate cancer. Gee Doc what should I do, being I had no experience with this. Take it out. I said not now. 16yrs. later my last MRI shows no cancer. I went vegan. Changed my diet and the cancer went away. Men take this subject seriously. Do your own home work. My Doc told me I was crazy. I could die. Change your diet now before it is to late. Educate your self. Big money in this. $$$

Can you give us some more detail about your diet and any other changes you made?

[@tomm6789]

@@chrismole1315 a A plant base diet. Organic, 80 % raw food. Reverse Osmosis water. No package food,no chemicals. Stay away from meats of any kind. Also oils.Do a detox. Just google plant base diets. You will get the idea. Your system will get stronger. All your numbers will get better, if you have any other problems.

@@tomm6789 Thanks Tom. This seems to be the diet that works best, according to a lot of people. I'm moving in this direction. What about any supplements? Do you take anything?

[@dalemaley1105]

Thanks Tom...and congrats!!! What was your basis for ignoring your Docs and following a different path? Any credible studies that you relied upon.? I believe Steve Jobs also tried alternative therapy for his cancer??? Do you blame men for wanting to see credible studies for any path they choose.....whether alternative or standard medical care. We know there are qwacks practicing medicine......medically trained or not, agreed?

@@dalemaley1105 Some times you might need a Doc. If you can't heal your self. Just changing to a plant base diet will change your whole body tremendously. There is plenty of information now ,help make you understand. Even if you have some kind of cancers that just could stay dormant. Client of mine told me her father had cancer for 25 yrs. Read Prostate Health in 90 days. Watch lectures how Doctors show you the numbers a plant base diet works .I didn't know anything 18 yrs. ago. That's the problem. When people get cancer they run to the Dr. Which is only normal. They run that bill as much as they can. There not going to tell you a non profit way to heel yourself . Dr. are great for test .And all the hi Tex processors, if you have to have it. Plus all depends what Dr. you will talk with. I have a great Dr. Mark Schotz in Marina del rey Ca. Might be worth to fly in to see him. Get his book lots of good info. Cheap. Also a book The China Study by Colin Campbell .Watch him on You Tube. This doesn't mean all cancer could be cured this way. Every one is different. If you understand why we get cancer, It is a fact that meats give you cancer. All the chemicals in what you eat and drink give you cancer. Most people cant give that up. It is a way of life here in the USA. The government allows corporate America to Put poison in our food and water. Some people just don't get it. Hope this helps you. Don't forget KZbin Dr Campbell, also Dr. Mc Doogle. 👍
