EP 601: Dr. Trubek on PSMA: The Latest and Greatest Tool in Early & Metastatic Cancer Detection

In this episode, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee are joined by Dr. Simon Trubek of Austin Radiological Association. As a radiologist specializing in nuclear medicine, Dr. Trubek injects radiopharmaceutical or radioactive substances into patients to help detect the presence and severity of cancer. Today, he is here to discuss PSMA, or Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen--a recently approved agent that significantly improves prostate cancer detection and treatment. In about an hour, Dr. Trubek's patients can come in and have an injection of PSMA that will help detect the presence and disease progression of slow-growing, metabolically inactive cancers like that of the prostate. Tune in to learn how PSMA is helping radiologists detect metastatic cancer by finding lymph nodes as small as 4mm in size!
