Advanced Diagnostics: Prostascint® Scan

We use this monoclonal antibody scanning technique to diagnose and stage prostate cancer, and to detect cancer metastasis.

During the scan, ProstaScint® is combined with a small amount of radioactive material and given to the patient via intravenous injection. The substance circulates throughout the body and attaches to an antigen located on prostate cancer cells. Images are then taken with a special gamma camera to detect prostate cancer cells in the body.

This technique helps us locate prostate cancer cells and evaluate the extent of the disease. It also helps us identify prostate cancer that has spread to other areas of the body, such as the lymph nodes, adjacent tissue, and bone.
