Illuccix® (kit for the preparation of 68Ga-PSMA-11 injection*) is now listed on the Medicare Benefits Schedule in Australia for selection of patients’ suitability for lutetium-177 PSMA therapy.
Swipe to hear from Anne Savage, CEO of the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (@PCFA), on what this means for Australian men with advanced prostate cancer.
Specialists and consultant physicians can request an Illuccix PSMA-PET scan for patients with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer, to determine eligibility for lutetium therapy.
Visit mbsonline.gov.au/ for further information.
