Prostate Cancer: Gleason Scores & PSMA PET Scans Explained

In this educational video, Kristie Kokeny, PA-C, of Urology Associates explains the Gleason score and what it means for patients diagnosed with prostate cancer. She discusses how Gleason scores are determined from biopsy results, how they help classify prostate cancer as low-grade or high-grade disease, and why they are an important part of treatment planning. Kristie also explains what to expect during a PSMA PET scan and how the results help provide a more complete picture of your cancer. After your pathology and PSMA PET scan results are available, you'll meet with your physician to review the findings and discuss the next steps in your care and treatment plan.
