Prostate-specific membrane antigen, or PSMA, is a protein expressed on the surface of prostate cancer cells that has become an important target for both diagnosing and treating the disease. In this episode of CancerCast, Dr. Manish Shah speaks with prostate cancer expert Dr. Scott Tagawa about how this PSMA protein helps identify whether prostate cancer is confined to the prostate or has spread, and the ways it can be used to guide treatment decisions. They discuss how PSMA-based prostate cancer treatments work in the body and why these therapies have become one of the most significant recent advances in modern medicine for prostate cancer.
