An important milestone for prostate cancer care in Australia.
From November 1, Australian men with recurrent prostate cancer now have expanded Medicare-funded access to PSMA-PET/CT imaging, with the previous limit of two scans per lifetime replaced by access to annual scans.
We welcome this important step towards improving access to advanced imaging for Australian men living with prostate cancer.
As PSMA-PET/CT has become an established standard of care in the management of recurrent prostate cancer, this change reflects the need for ongoing access to this important imaging modality.
Thanks to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA) for its advocacy in helping bring about this change.
