Body Scans for Prostate Cancer | Prostate Cancer Staging Guide

Thank you so much for this video. I had a bone scan today. I had Brachy therapy in 2018 and my PSA went down to .59. And has gradually increased to 1.9. This video ties it all together so I understand what is going on much better. THANKQ

This video was made 4 years ago before CMS(medicare) gave PSMA an approval number or code for those with prostate cancer. Seniors should know this. I think that the good doctor mentioned here that it may not be covered. This is a great and caring doctor and he provides such important info for those with prostate trouble cancer or fast rising psa. Thank you Dr. Scholz.

A couple of years has elapsed are any of these new scan technologies available yet?

[@brucebocian2006]

Excellent piece, I had my prostatectomy in 2014my psa has been negligible, recently it went to .2 then .18 then .24. My Doc suggested an Auximin scan. However my support group leader says it to low to get good results and suggested a PSMA, but it would still need to come up before good results, what is your opinion?

[@24hourgmtchannel64]

So with someone with a PSA under 6.0 and a Gleason 6, other than Multi Parametric MRI, are any other scans necessary? Of course anyone one on Active Surveillance that gets back of hip pain is going to expect the worst.

[@chloe7seven22]

what if the PSA is only 5 and yet the prostate is rock hard and has metastasised? (ON PET SCAN) - how did that happen? With a gleason of 8

Excellent video, which filled in a couple more pieces of the puzzle. One question: Dr. Scholz talks about the Axumin F-18 test then later mentions F-18 bone scans. Is this the same test or two different ones? Thank you.

No, it is just a coincidence that they have the same letter and number. The NaF18 bone scan uses Sodium Flouride and the FACBC (Axumin) scan uses Fluciclovine. We will be updating this video soon since the Ga68 PSMA PET scan was recently FDA approved and outperforms all of those scans in both bones and soft tissues.
