PSMA(Pylarify) Shut Out in Rocky Mountain West

[DenDoc]

I have been following the roll out of the PSMA scans for over a year. Denver has none. The nearest sites are Omaha and Albuquerque both 500 miles away. Hard to understand when this is a major referral center for a 4 state area.

Contacting the company has been no help as their map shows a future site here. Meantime we are all getting imaged with the least sensitive FDG PET scans.

The link in the post shared by Tall Allen a few days ago showed the Rocky Mountain Cancer Center in Denver as a site. Might try them if you haven’t already. Best to you.

Thanks so much for the information. I missed that one.

My MO at UCHealth told me last week that UCHealth has this scan at their Anschutz campus in Aurora.

[DenDoc in reply to Explorer08]

thanks. I would have expected them to be the first in the area to have it. I am in Kaiser and I needed this information to get a referral. which is never easy.

My understanding is that they got the "kit" to do the Ga-68 PSMA scan and it's FDA approved.

I just had my PSMA done in Chandler, AZ at the SMIL center last week. Only takes Medicare otherwise I had to pay $6,500 (standard rate now) UCLA was $3300 now everywhere $6500.

Of course that is when I found out the 5 sessions of CyberKnife in September 2021 missed my tumor , no change from PSMA 5/20 at UCLA. Another matter.

Dang. I just had an Axumin PET scan in Glendale, AZ and it turned up nothing. I wasn't aware that PSMA was available locally and I guess neither did my Urologist?
