There is a lot to process when hearing your, or a loved one’s, prostate cancer has spread.

About mCRPC: metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

There are different types of prostate cancer that you may have heard of:

• Prostate cancer that has spread outside the prostate is called metastatic

• Prostate cancer that is no longer responding to hormone treatment that lowers testosterone is called castration-resistant
   

When your cancer is metastatic and castration-resistant, it is called mCRPC.

If you have mCRPC, you may also be PSMA+ (prostate-specific membrane antigen positive)

You can find out if you are PSMA+ with a PSMA-PET scan
