In this video, meet Sophia Kamran, MD, a radiation In this video, meet Sophia Kamran, MD, a radiation oncologist at Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute whose work focuses on advancing more personalized treatments for prostate and other genitourinary cancers. In recognition of Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, Dr. Kamran discusses the importance of understanding your individual risk and how that knowledge can help guide conversations about screening and next steps. She explains the role of PSA (prostate-specific antigen) value as well as the importance of evaluating other factors such as age, family history, and other clinical information to estimate the likelihood of having or developing clinically significant prostate cancer. While no single PSA value can provide a definitive diagnosis, understanding your PSA as well as your own personal risk can help patients and their care teams make more informed decisions about additional testing, monitoring, and treatment options.
