Both gallium-68 and polarify are used in a Pluvicto scan. Results are similar.

@jeffmarc In the USA do Urologists request a PSMA -PET Scan for Gleason 6 or more importantly " Favourable Gleason 3 + 4 = 7 . Here in Canada it's like pulling teeth , even when the patient offers to pay privately ? I feel Canada is way behind in requesting BRAC1 & 2 Tests . plus PSMA - PET CT Scans even though there are many locations performing it .
I am on Active Surveillance with Gleason 6 in 4 Cores and 3 + 4 = 7 in 2 Cores . I have tried 3 Urologists for these referrals - NO LUCK THUS FAR .
I understand if you have the BRCA2 Gene there is a higher risk of spread and metastasis.
