PSMA and kidney cancer??? Apparently so!
Show Notes

"Prostate Specific" Membrane Antigen PET/CT - now also available to stage kidney cancer! We seriously need a name change here. Already we know that PSMA PET/CT shows a lot more than the prostate/prostate cancer, but could it have utility in staging renal cancer?? We've certainly had a lot of off-trial experience of this at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre since 2014, and we know see data  in Eur Urol Open Science to describe this experience.
We are joined by senior author Associate Professor Shankar Siva, radiation oncologist at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Dr Rana McKay, GU medical oncologist at the University of California, San Diego, who has an interest in FOLH1 expression in renal cancer, and Peter Mac nuclear medicine physician Professor Michael Hofman, to discuss PSMA and renal cancer.
