PSMA PET agents

[Thomkin]

Hi all- I'm a yearand 1/4 out from RARP for intermediate grade PCA with 'low risk' genomics on the tumor

After 9 months of 'undetectable PSA', I've now started to rise and am at .09 now. So looking at PSMA PET down the road. There are 2 agents in common use- Gd68 and 'Pylarify' F18. Sounds like the latter may have better detection ability. Any input? Anyone have a similar tumor profile and have a story to share on there treatment course. By genomics and at my age, I doubt I'd want to undergo ADT.

What has your PSA pattern been? Insurance may not approve a PSMA scan yet, which is unlikely to show anything at your low PSA.

The plan is to wait until my PSA reaches .2 to do the scan. PSA change over time will also show how fast residual tumor is growing. My 'low risk' genomics suggest there's no big rush.
