PSMA is a precise imaging target that can help detect prostate cancer.
- PSMA, which stands for prostate-specific membrane antigen, is a protein that is abundant on the surface of prostate cancer cells. This is what makes PSMA a good target for prostate cancer imaging
- PSMA is also found on cancer cells that have spread to other parts of the body, like the lymph nodes or bones
- PSMA imaging may be able to detect tumors that are undetectable with conventional imaging, which relies on size and shape of tumor
