PSMA, is a type of CT done with radioactive contrast. I am not medical professional so just passing on my experience with PSMA as I did have the test.
The test is done to see if prostate cancer cells are present in other parts of your body. I also had a bone scan. Both of these test for me were negative.
Talk to your urologist and your R/O (radiation oncologist) about PSMA and if applicable and beneficial for you.
I see from a prior post you had a PET SCAN. I think the PSMA and PET SCAN are the same time of test which would indicate you have already has these type of tests. Did your doctors say there was any evidence of your PC being outside of your prostate. That would come from the PSMA and PET SCAN.
Can't give much information on PET SCAN as my test was called PSMA. But from what I a reading here of MCC they are similar. Maybe another poster who has more information on PET SCAN and it's correlations or similarity to PSMA could help or you can ask your doctors to explain the difference
