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.

Telix is pleased to support this year’s Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (@PCFA) Giving Day.
The theme of this year’s campaign is ‘Give today for a stronger tomorrow’, recognising the difference that each of us can make in the fight against Australia’s most common cancer.
Every dollar you give today will be matched, making twice the difference to men and families who are impacted by the disease.
You can support the campaign by donating and leaving a message on PCFA’s Wall of Hope, via the link: pcfagivingday.org.au

A really important message to all those men out there that aren’t having health checks, ignoring symptoms or not following up.
We are very lucky to have these two top blokes in our lives.
If your over 50 or family history get checked.
