PYLARIFY PET/CT with PSMA Tracer

PYLARIFY PET/CT with Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen Tracer

Increased Diagnostic Accuracy in Prostate Cancer Identification

PYLARIFY is an advanced diagnostic imaging agent used with PET/CT scans to find tumors in the prostate, lymph nodes, bones, and other organs, typically better than other types of imaging scans. PYLARIFY uses a radioactive tracer called fluorine-18, or 18F, which helps create a clear and more detailed PET/CT scan image for your doctor. A clearer image also provides improved insights, which can lead to more informed treatment choices.

If your doctor is concerned that the prostate cancer has spread, they may schedule an imaging scan. Your doctor will then assess if the cancer has remained in the prostate and pelvic area, spread into nearby lymph nodes, or reached other parts of the body. This information will help guide your doctor in the selection of an appropriate treatment.

When detected early, 5-year survival rates for prostate cancer found in the prostate area can be as high as 100%, which is why ongoing screenings are important. Having more information about the different imaging options and steps may help relieve any concerns you have about what’s involved.

Benefits of PYLARIFY PET/CT for the Patient

  • PYLARIFY has major benefits for cancer staging and restaging in men with
    prostate cancer.
  • Its high sensitivity for prostate cancer makes it more accurate than conventional
    imaging in detecting early or very small prostate cancer metastases.
  • This allows more accurate staging of prostate cancer, so that providers and
    patients can make better-informed treatment decisions.
  • The PYLARIFY® PET/CT scan takes about two hours and the prep is simple: Patients
    are only required to drink plenty of fluids on the day before the exam, and the
    day of the exam.)
