Medical oncologist Mark Scholz, MD, answers patients questions on the appropriate course of action for a recurrence after radiation, the differences between Axumin and PSMA PET scans, and whether false positives are possible with the PSMA PET scans.
0:05 Can you make a video on what a patient can do if there is a recurrence after radiation? What are the possible routes of action?
1:16 Can you explain the differences between Axumin PET scans and PSMA PET scans?
2:12 I've had an MRI and biopsy that discovered only Gleason 6 prostate cancer. I had a PSMA PET scan that discovered two lesions on the ribs. My doctor wants to treat those lesions with spot radiation and hormone therapy. Am I right in thinking that further investigation is needed? How specific is the PSMA PET scan?
