@marlow2 Yes they are the same. I was asked to do a PET scan at UFPTI. I had it done showed no spread of cancer. Then I kept reading on MCC about PSMA and I was confused is it different or same.

So I asked my oncologist/radiologist and he said it is the same. One thing I see everyone comments on is the extensive use of abbreviations when dealing with prostrate cancer, tests, and treatments. When I first came on MCC I was completely confused about all the abbreviations.

The monitor (Collen) did a great post citing most of the abbreviations and what they meant. If we did list the entere spelling of these the post would be twice as long. I am very guilty of doing long posts as my fingers show how fast my brain is thinking and don't even know they are that long until I see them on MCC.
