Prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) scanning detected prostate cancer in a patient with prior negative biopsies. This imaging technique may offer new applications for diagnosing prostate cancer.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Nuclear Medicine
- Radiology
Background:
- Prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) scanning is a sensitive tool for prostate cancer detection.
- Persistent elevation in Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) with negative conventional imaging and biopsies poses a diagnostic challenge.
