Reproducibility and Repeatability of Quantitative FDHT Uptake Metrics in CRPC - Andrew Scott

Details
Andrew Scott, MD presented a multinational trial looking at a fluorodihydrotestosterone (FDHT) in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer on behalf of colleagues from a number of institutions. The intent was that they would look at whether or not this was a test which could be reliably introduced in individual patients at multiple centers in multiple continents, and whether or not there...

Early Initiation of Lu177 PSMA Radioligand Therapy Prolongs Survival in Metastatic PCa - Harshad Kulkarni

Details
Where in this treatment regimen would you place lutetium-177-PSMA radioligand therapy? This was the question Harshad Kulkarni, MD posed to the audience at the start of his presentation. The aim of the study which he was presenting during this Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging presentation was to determine the influence of timing of lutetium PSMA radioligand therapy in metastatic pr...

Initial Experience with Actinium- 225 PSMA in Advanced Prostate Cancer - Machaba Michael Sathekge

Details
Mike Machaba Sathekge, MD, PhD presents on the power of medicine, specifically targeted radionuclide therapies and the use of actinium-225 in advanced prostate cancer. Targeted α-therapy with 225Ac-PSMA-617 although still preliminary, has demonstrated strong potential to significantly benefit advanced-stage prostate cancer patients. He discusses the initial experience with 225Ac-PSMA-617 in a deve...

Prognostic Value of Baseline Imaging Parameters Prior to LuPSMA Therapy - Justin Ferdindandus

Details
At the recent Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) annual conference, Justin Ferdindandus presents the results of a study which evaluated whether baseline imaging can provide prognostic information in patients treated with lutetium PSMA regarding overall survival and progression-free survival. The post-hoc analysis revealed that a favorable response by the means of a 50% PSA d...
